Abstract

We investigate how substance use Certificate‐of‐Need (CON) laws influence access to substance use disorder treatment facilities in the United States. We use the National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Facilities data set, which lists all federal, state, and local government facilities and private facilities that provide substance use treatment services in 2020. Based on the locations of these facilities, we develop a novel access index to substance use disorder treatment facilities that accounts for driving distance and duration to measure the ease of reaching these facilities for individuals living at the population‐weighted county centroids. We find that counties in states with CON laws that border counties without such laws have nearly 10% less spatial accessibility to substance use disorder treatment facilities at a 5% level of significance.

药物使用需求证明法对使用药物紊乱治疗设施的影响

我们调查了药物使用需求证明（CON）法律如何影响美国药物使用障碍治疗机构的使用。我们使用了《全国药物和酒精滥用治疗设施目录》数据集，该数据集列出了 2020 年提供药物使用治疗服务的所有联邦、州和地方政府设施以及私人设施。根据这些设施的位置，我们开发了一种新型的药物使用障碍治疗设施访问指数，该指数考虑了驾驶距离和持续时间，以衡量居住在人口加权县中心的个人到达这些设施的难易程度。我们发现，在 5%的显著性水平下，在有 CON 法律的州与没有此类法律的州接壤的县，药物使用障碍治疗设施的空间可达性要低近 10%。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
