These shortages and disparities contribute to health inequities that leave already-vulnerable populations at increased risk for detrimental consequences. Access to mental health and substance use treatment could be improved by better utilizing the Advanced Practice nursing workforce providing care in mental health and substance use treatment, and by better defining Advanced Practice nursing roles, including those with specialty certifications in mental health and substance-related care.
