The California/Arizona, Oregon/Hawaii, and Pacific Region Nodes are collaborating to gain a better understanding of the factors that may influence the under-utilization of substance abuse treatment services by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and the readiness of substance abuse treatment programs serving AAPIs to participate in clinical trials and adopt evidence based practices. This study will develop a research infrastructure to increase the ability of the CTN to recruit AAPIs for multi-site clinical trials and will provide exploratory data that will serve as a foundation for innovative substance abuse treatment research on AAPIs. The NIH National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities is collaborating with the CTN on this project.
