Area of Science:

  • Social Science
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Substance use disorders (SUD) affect millions globally, causing substantial social, health, and economic burdens.
  • Persistent stigma, often framing SUD as a moral failing, impedes access to effective treatment and support.
  • Understanding factors influencing stigma is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess stigma levels related to SUD within Saint Joseph's University (SJU).
  • To investigate the impact of personal connections on attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions toward individuals with SUD.
  • To identify potential correlations between personal experience and stigma reduction.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional anonymous email survey was administered to SJU faculty and students.
  • The survey included demographic, stigma, and scenario-based questions.
  • Respondents were categorized based on personal connections to SUD, and data were analyzed using unpaired t-tests (p < 0.05).

Main Results:

  • Usable responses were obtained from 253 participants, with 235 indicating personal connections to SUD.
  • Individuals with personal connections exhibited significantly lower stigma levels.
  • These individuals showed greater willingness to interact with those misusing substances or in recovery, with statistically significant differences observed for alcohol, opioids, and recovery interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Personal relationships with individuals experiencing SUD demonstrably reduce stigma.
  • Such connections foster more empathetic and supportive attitudes, challenging moralistic views.
  • Findings suggest that promoting personal connections can be a strategy to combat SUD stigma.
