However, much of the research addressing this surge has focused on Black individuals in urban areas, despite evidence that usage and overdose rates are accelerating among rural Black People Who Use Drugs (PWUD), a gap we aim to fill here via a qualitative assessment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between September 2023 and June 2024, we conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of Black adult PWUD who live in rural southern Illinois.

Participants further described their social networks as small, emphasizing a desire to stay hidden to avoid social scrutiny. Finally, participants had mixed feelings about the nature and value of medications for opioid use disorder (e.g., buprenorphine, methadone, etc.) and expressed limited knowledge about where to access harm reduction resources like naloxone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Rural Black PWUD may experience complex early-life exposures to substance use and later-life challenges in terms of communal integration due to stigma and structural disenfranchisment.
