500 _aABSTRACT Of individuals who need treatment for substance use disorder (SUD), 12.6% do not receive it. One reason for this failure to treat is an inadequately prepared health care workforce, including nurses. To establish a state-wide baseline of SUD curricular content, we collected information about topics taught and barriers to teaching important topics using an anonymous survey sent to all 55 nursing programs in Indiana. Topics deemed important were taught more frequently, such as opioid withdrawal (60.6%). Lack of expertise was more commonly reported as a barrier than lack of time (25.3% vs. 7.1%). Findings suggest that nursing students in Indiana are not taught requisite content related to SUD. We have provided pragmatic recommendations to enhance content in schools of nursing and address lack of expertise among faculty. Leaders need to actively evaluate and augment the content of their curriculums to include SUD. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 61(9), 15-23.]
