    Addressing Stigma in Healthcare: A Provider’s Pathway to Supporting Patients with Substance Use Disorder

    This presentation will focus on addressing stigma in healthcare, drawing on insights from the Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index (SASI) and evidence-based strategies embedded in our new accredited curriculum – Provider’s Pathway to Supporting Patients with Substance Use Disorder. We will explore how stigma manifests among healthcare providers, and its impact on patient experience and outcomes. Through interactive discussion, participants will analyze key findings from SASI data and engage with practical tools that can help reduce stigma in clinical settings. Ultimately, the session aims to equip public health and healthcare professionals with actionable steps to create more inclusive and supportive environments for individuals with substance use disorders.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Understand the Impact of Stigma in Healthcare Settings: Participants will gain insights into how stigma manifests among healthcare providers, supported by data from the Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index (SASI) and other research, as well as discuss insights into key areas for intervention.

    2. Learn About How Stigma Affects Patients with SUD: Participants will learn what the research tells us about how stigma affects patient experience and outcomes with regard to SUD course, engagement with healthcare professionals across health issues, and in relation to treatment and recovery for those who are seeking it.

    3. Explore Evidence-Based Strategies to Reduce Stigma – Provider’s Pathway: Participants will learn about the formative work behind the curriculum and will examine specific interventions and practical tools that help reduce stigma, such as harm reduction and “hosting conversations.”
