Conclusion
OUD
This study demonstrated that a brief intervention to reduce PCC stigma towards people with OUD did not affect PCC stigma, intentions to treat people with OUD, or CDS tool use compared to an attention-control training. Given the findings that PCC stigma is related to intentions and willingness to treat people with OUD, finding effective stigma reduction interventions for this group is needed. Future interventions may consider including more educational and skills-based components (e.g., including information about the damaging effects of stigma and how to identify and combat one’s own biases) and repeated intervention exposure.
