Subst Use Misuse. 2025;60(10):1424-1433. doi: 10.1080/10826084.2025.2501171. Epub 2025 May 12.
The present study drew from an AmeriSpeak national survey ( = 6,515) to examine public stigma toward different substances and the relationship between preferences for abstinence-based recovery and stigma toward each substance. It also explored whether perceived dangerousness of substances moderates the relationship between preferences for abstinence-based recovery and public stigma.
The results indicate that the general public has greater stigmatizing attitudes toward methamphetamine use disorder than it does toward cocaine use disorder, opioid use disorder, and alcohol use disorder. Furthermore, a preference for abstinence-based recovery was associated with greater stigmatizing attitudes toward all SUDs. The perceived dangerousness of a substance did not moderate the relationship between preference for abstinence-based recovery and stigmatizing attitudes toward SUDs.
CONCLUSIONS/IMPORTANCE: Results have implications for creating public stigma interventions for the general public, which can be adapted for abstinence-based settings.
本研究借鉴了美国民意调查(n = 6515),以检验公众对不同物质的污名化态度,以及基于戒酒的康复偏好与对每种物质的污名化之间的关系。它还探讨了物质的感知危险性是否会调节基于戒酒的康复偏好与公众污名化之间的关系。
结果表明,公众对甲基苯丙胺使用障碍的污名化态度比对可卡因使用障碍、阿片类药物使用障碍和酒精使用障碍的污名化态度更强。此外,对基于戒酒的康复的偏好与对所有物质使用障碍的更强污名化态度相关。物质的感知危险性并未调节基于戒酒的康复偏好与对物质使用障碍的污名化态度之间的关系。
结论/重要性:研究结果对为公众制定减少污名化干预措施具有启示意义,这些措施可适用于基于戒酒的环境。
