Health equity means everyone has a fair shot at living the healthiest life possible, and one of the first steps in ensuring that everyone has a fair shot is working with community partners to identify and address health disparities. A community-driven health equity action plan is intended to create a roadmap for communities to take action on a health equity agenda that addresses priorities in their community. This training will examine how communities can identify and prioritize health disparities and address the social determinants of health, facilitate a community change process through authentic community engagement, and collect and analyze data on health disparities to identify key issues to inform a health equity action plan.

The prevalence of co-occurring gambling addiction and substance use is high. Approximately 1 in 10 compulsive gamblers report being concerned about their substance use, and research shows that people with a history of substance misuse are at higher risk for problem gambling.

This training explores problem gambling concepts and terminology, the similarities and differences between problem gambling and substance misuse, implications for prevention and intervention strategies, as well as opportunities for collaboration between the substance misuse and problem gambling prevention fields.
