CE Credits: Reducing Stigma Associated with OUD
To help health-care providers learn more about reducing stigma associated with Opioid Use Disorders (OUD), Dell Medical School | The University of Texas at Austin is offering Reducing Stigma Education Tools (ReSET). Negative stigma towards individuals living with addiction or OUD, whether conscious or not, can create a barrier for individuals accessing health care and receiving appropriate treatment. It can also contribute to feelings of shame, mistrust of providers, avoidance of health-care encounters and overall suboptimal health outcomes.
