A mixed-methods service evaluation of perceived barriers to providing culturally informed substance misuse care: The impact of ward location on outcomes

There is a distinct lack of comprehensive and pragmatic guidelines in policy with regards to the provision of culturally informed substance misuse care for service users from black and minority ethnic communities. As substance misuse is over-represented in clients at Ward in the Community and in light of aforementioned racial disparities in mental healthcare policy, this project seeks to evaluate whether Ward in the Community meets the needs of black and minority ethnic groups in providing culturally informed substance misuse care.
