Reply to "What are your reactions to the Sharing Together Evidence Priority Agenda?"

Great report with lots of terrific ideas.

The evidence themes listed on p 48 mention the older adult however, I do not see older adults reflected in any other place in the document. Evidence suggests that this population is among the highest users of health care yet less than 2% of those with Substance Use disorders actually access treatment. Older adults with SUD have the highest rates of hospitalizations and longest length of stay for alcohol related admissions vs the general population. This is in my opinion a priority population.

Youth and older adults are the populations most adversely affected by the opiate crisis. Both are a priority.

I am wondering how this report is capturing the older adult in the priority evidence areas.
