Alcohol use disorder can have direct and indirect effects on provision of healthcare. What can we do as clinicians and beyond to make an impact?

@LisaZha15073078 I loved how you talked about the difference between alcohol "use" and alcohol "abuse" disorder - the small ways in which we use language have a huge impact on changing the culture of medicine.

@EvanHonig1 @LisaZha15073078 Agree with all of your sentiments. These data points are also from the beginning of the pandemic - I wonder if they shifted over time, or whether the roll out of the vaccine will follow a similar pattern. #healthequity

@peejwalker Although the summary of the paper did not surprise me, the sheer discrepancy in the scores between children of different racial/ethnic backgrounds was still astounding. We can do better. #SocialJustice #HealthDisparities
