“…In contrast, the healthcare services received through harm reduction and community-based organizations that serve people who use drugs are often perceived as non-stigmatizing and accessible ( Muncan et al, 2020 ). Despite recognition that stigma adversely impacts the health of people who use drugs, there are few interventions designed to address it ( Bielenberg et al, 2021 ; Livingston et al, 2012 ). Successful interventions that reduce drug use-related stigma in healthcare settings have featured people who use drugs providing education to and having direct contact with medical students, residents, and other professionals ( Livingston et al, 2012 ).…”

“…The risk of bias and stigma against patients with ALD also needs to be included early in the training for professionals caring for people with ALD. 70 This extends beyond the stigma of AUD. Intersectional stigma describes the co-occurrence of several stigmatised conditions in one individual, 90,91 thus further exacerbating health inequalities.…”

“…69 Interventions that include contact with individuals in recovery have been shown to be particularly effective in decreasing stigma among providers who treat patients with substance use disorders, and among people training to become healthcare providers. 70 Peer involvement in substance use disorder treatment is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy to improve outcomes, although there is a need for more methodologically rigorous studies to determine the impact of peer recovery services on AUD outcomes. 71 Guidelines such as the United Kingdom Liver Advisory Group recommendations on liver transplant referral for patients with ALD 72 usually focus on engagement with peer services outside professional services, for example in support groups, and there is good evidence of the effectiveness of groups like Alcoholics Anonymous.…”

“…For instance, Corrigan et al [ 9 ] concluded that contact was superior to education for reducing stigma among adults, whereas education was superior to contact for adolescents. Although more limited, the literature on the reduction of stigma related to substance use disorders similarly suggests that contact- and education-based interventions have positive effects on addiction-related stigma among the general public and treatment providers [ 4 , 42 ].…”

Purpose of Review Gambling disorder is among the most stigmatized mental health problems. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms that underlie this stigma and the effects of stigma-reduction interventions. This paper reviews extant literature on the stigma of gambling disorder and highlights evidence from this research and the broader mental illness stigma literature to help advance research on the prevention and reduction of gambling-related stigma. Recent Finding The public stigma of gambling disorder includes stereotypes of affected individuals as “greedy” and “irresponsible,” beliefs that affected individuals are to blame for their problems, and desire to avoid social contact with affected individuals. Stigmatizing attitudes held by the public are often internalized by individuals with gambling disorder, which leads to problem concealment, reduced treatment-seeking, and decreased self-esteem. Women with gambling disorder, as well as those with more severe gambling problems and who perceive greater stigma by the public, are most vulnerable to self-stigma. There is evidence that certain beliefs may underlie the stigmatization of gambling disorder, including beliefs about its causes. Contact- and education-based interventions show efficacy for the reduction of mental illness-related stigma more broadly; additional research is needed to determine the efficacy of various stigma reduction strategies for gambling disorder specifically. Summary Gambling disorder is highly stigmatized relative to other mental health problems, in part because it is viewed as more likely to be caused by controllable factors. Interventions that emphasize the biopsychosocial etiology of gambling disorder may help to prevent and reduce the blame and stigmatization of affected individuals. Structural stigma within domains such as legislation, healthcare, and the gambling industry, interventions to reduce self-stigma, stigma among mental health professionals, and the influence of culture on stigma and its reduction are critical issues for future research.
