Objective
This study examined whether an online training incorporating patient narratives reduced primary care clinicians' (PCCs) stigma toward people with opioid use disorder (primary) and increased intentions to treat people with OUD compared to an attention-control training (secondary).
Findings/Key points
Stigma toward people with OUD may require more robust intervention than this brief training was able to accomplish. However, stigma was related to lower intentions to treat people with OUD, suggesting stigma acts as a barrier to care.
Design/methods
88 PCCs (58% female; 68% white) completed the training (Stigma = 48; Control = 40) and were included in analyses.
