L’objectif

This study seeks to understand the general adult population’s knowledge, attitudes, and stigma towards methamphetamine use and people with a history of methamphetamine use.

Constatations/points à retenir

Six adjusted independent variables were noted to be significantly associated with higher stigma towards methamphetamine use: older age, higher household income, married status, Republican party affiliation, no history of methamphetamine use, and higher racism score. Sex assigned at birth, race (with Black as reference category), education level, and history of arrest or incarceration showed no statistical significance in stigma scores.
