Combatting opioid misuse is an incredibly complex issue influenced by unique factors in every community. Because of this complexity, organizations must collect vast amounts of data and disaggregate this data further to understand the impacts of socioeconomic status, race, gender, and more.

In the United States in 2020, only 17.9% of people with disabilities were employed, compared to 61.8% of people without disabilities. The disparity is even worse when examined by race.

However, data also show that these credits are small, under-utilized, and leave many potential beneficiaries un-served.
