2024 A Substance Use Disorder Health Equity Report Card SUD HERC and Landscape Analysis of SUD Treat

The SUD-Health Equity Report Card (SUD-HERC) is an easily digestible way to increase local knowledge of and support for a full continuum of SUD services based on local data. It was created by incorporating over 30 health indicators from multiple data sources (e.g., health departments, MDHHS, US Census) and organized into 4 different categories (demographics, available health services and access, socioeconomics, and substance use) by location (U.S., Michigan, St. Clair County, and Post Huron) in order to measure any health disparities. The SUD-HERC has been designed to help identify data gaps that will inform the collection, reporting, and availability of publicly accessible data. It is easily understandable to the layperson and provides verbiage that can be copied and dropped into reports, presentations, articles, publications, and grant applications by community organizations, policy makers, public health providers, and other professionals. The Landscape Analysis takes a look at current SUD specific services in St. Clair County down to the specific service levels. This includes identifying what specific interventions are available in what locations. This allows to better understand what is currently available, what services are missing, and which geographic areas are more underserved than others.
