Mental health: meeting information needs for substance use disorders

Submitted by neilpw on 28 September, 2022

Problem

Substance use disorders carry a large burden of disease worldwide across low-, middle- and high-income countries.

Lack of availability and use of relevant, reliable healthcare information is a major contributing factor to suffering and death related to substance use disorders. This applies to all stakeholder groups, including the general public, health workers and policymakers. As a result, many people with substance use disorders do not have access to effective means of prevention and treatment.
