National Study of Opioid Use Disorder Impacts on Employment Prospects for Multiply Marginalized People of Color with Disabilities: The Providers' Perspectives
2024
Overview
The purpose of this national study was to examine the perspectives of vocational rehabilitation, substance abuse, and mental health service providers (e.g., counselors, clinicians, directors) (N = 101) about the impacts of opioid use disorder (OUD) on employment prospects for multiply marginalized people of color (i.e., African Americans or Blacks, Native Americans, Latinx, Asian Americans, and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders) with disabilities. An anonymous online, cross-sectional survey informed by the literature and a focus group was utilized to explore and identify providers' perspectives on employment barriers and strategies for overcoming such challenges. Findings identified criminal history, transportation, limited educational attainment, and opioid use and dependence as key perceived employment barriers. Training to enhance self-worth and independence, integration of vocational rehabilitation counseling with addiction treatment services, and improved service coordination among treatment providers were identified as important strategies for traversing these challenges. Recommendations that inform service and policy are presented.
