Abstract
Introduction
Despite studies having examined and discussed the various multifaceted risk factors affecting perinatal women with substance use disorder (SUD), the limited amount of research on Black/African-American (B/AA) women allows health disparities in this population to widen. Segmenting the needs of the low-income B/AA female population with SUD is crucial when creating multi-layered and multi-faceted innovative upstream evidence-based interventions. This review assesses and examines studies that investigate psychosocial, environmental, and systemic level risk factors related to implicit bias, trauma, toxic stress, food issues, and SUD.
Methods
The principal investigator (PI) utilized PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global to perform a systematic scoping review of the published literature. Research focused on risks factors affecting low-income perinatal B/AA women. The literature review examined articles published January 2010 through December 2020. Inclusion criteria incorporated risk factors, health disparities, and SUD. Studies selected for this review have been published in English and conducted in the USA.
Results
Our research identified 509 articles, of which we chose to include 75. The literature highlights health disparities influenced by risks factors of implicit biases, trauma, and toxic stress, which construct physical and emotional barriers to healthy food and food resources in B/AA women with SUD.
Conclusion
The PI found limited or non-existent research on innovative interventions targeting perinatal B/AA women with SUD. This review recommends deconstructing hidden psychosocial, environmental, and systematic risk factors to assist in developing novel comprehensive strategies and wraparound support services.
