Addressing Drug Use & Recovery Stigma: Initial Findings Released August 2021
After two months of data collection and analysis, we are excited to announce the initial findings from our pilot stigma project. In an effort to inform the most effective stigma reduction efforts and reduce overdose deaths we delivered a random, anonymous survey to measure the perceived attitudes of over 26,000 Americans and explore their impact on the policies, laws, and practices that continue to challenge our response.
On the subject of unusual Patek Philippe Calatrava references, may I present a very unusual sculpted model: Ref. 5090J from about 2000, also called the Russian Watch due to its limited production for that market. wdfreplica I found two examples of this unusual reference for sale, so I thought I would take a moment to talk about it.
Our findings show that negative perceptions towards people who use drugs and people who identify as in recovery is pervasive in the US. Highlights of our findings include:
- 71% of respondents believed that society at large considers individuals who use drugs problematically to be outcasts or non-community members
- 74% of respondents believed that society at large views individuals who use drugs problematically as somewhat, mostly, or entirely responsible for their drug use
- 73% of respondents believed that society at large views individuals who are dependent on drugs as having moderate, low, or no chance of maintaining recovery
