Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Addiction Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Substance use disorders (SUDs) carry significant stigma, impacting patient care and outcomes.
  • Health professionals play a crucial role in addressing the opioid epidemic, necessitating effective stigma reduction strategies.
  • Existing stigma reduction interventions for health professionals have limited focus on pharmacy students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a contact-based interactive intervention on perceived stigma of opioid use disorder (OUD) among pharmacy students.
  • To assess the effectiveness of peer recovery support specialists in delivering stigma reduction training.

Main Methods:

  • A contact-based interactive intervention was delivered to third-year pharmacy students (N=115).
  • The intervention featured a peer recovery support specialist.
  • Perceived stigma related to OUD was measured using the Brief Opioid Stigma Scale.

Main Results:

  • Significant reductions in perceived stigma were observed among pharmacy students.
  • The intervention positively influenced both personal beliefs and public perceptions regarding OUD.
  • Interactive presentations by peer recovery support specialists demonstrated efficacy in decreasing stigma.

Conclusions:

  • Contact-based interactive interventions delivered by peer recovery support specialists are effective in reducing OUD stigma among pharmacy students.
  • This intervention model holds promise for broader application in health professional training.
  • Further research is warranted to explore and refine these stigma reduction strategies.
