Minority populations are disproportionately affected by the consequences of drug abuse. Accordingly, NIDA is taking extra effort to understand the causes of and contributing factors to these inequalities and working to ensure that minority issues are appropriately addressed and minority populations are adequately represented not only in NIDA's comprehensive research portfolio, but in our research communities as well. Toward this end, NIDA has developed the following five-year strategic plan.
NIDA's Strategic Plan on Reducing Health Disparities is part of an NIH-wide effort to eliminate health disparities in racial and ethnic groups. The plan was developed by representatives from across NIDA's entire research and program areas, which comprises the Health Disparities Strategic Planning Committee. The Committee was spearheaded and supported by NIDA's Office of Special Populations. A Sub-Committee of NIDA's National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse provided invaluable guidance in the development of this draft. Comments from NIDA's consituent organizations were also solicited, received and incorporated. We are interested in receiving comments from members of the public on this document.
