Description

Abstract:: Substance abuse costs the United States in excess of $740 billion dollars annually in health care, crime, and lost work productivity. Research suggests use of tobacco-containing products are associated with an increased risk of substance use disorders, however it remains under-addressed in primary care clinics. Data suggests that underserved populations are significantly more likely to use tobacco products than privately insured age-matched peers. We hypothesized that individuals who are engaged with regular healthcare and have a personal physician are less likely to misuse substances than those who do not seek regular care.
