As a result, interventions continuously fail to reflect their priorities and needs. Incorporating the meaningful involvement of Black women with HIV and community organisations that serve them into implementation processes is necessary if interventions a…

Critical Reflections From the Black Women First Initiative
In 2020, the Health Resources and Services Administration launched the first initiative focused on Black women in nearly 40 years of the HIV epidemic: the Black Women First initiative. A critical step toward advancing racial equity, the initiative addressed the health and social needs of diverse Black women in HIV care and treatment. In this essay, we posit that the disproportionate burden of HIV/AIDS experienced by Black women is rooted in racis…

Preventing Opioid Use Disorders among Fishing Industry Workers
Fishing industry workers are at high risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and injuries. Prescription opioids used to treat pain injuries may put these workers at increased risk for developing substance disorders. Using a Community-Based Participatory Research approach, formative research was conducted to inform the eventual development of relevant interventions to prevent and reduce opioid use disorders among fishing industry wo…
Context Matters
Social work is uniquely poised to lead in the development and implementation of multilevel strategies to both address substance use disorders (SUDs) and tackle existing inequities in SUD treatment. It is critical that there be an explicit focus on context, racial justice, and community empowerment in educational efforts designed to train graduate social work students when preparing them for professional work in the behavioral health field. This a…
