dc.description.abstractObjective: This study was conducted to determine the social stigma toward substance use disorders in Turkey. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 3,130 participants in Turkey. The Sociodemographic Information Form and the Public Stigma toward Substance Use Disorder Scale were used to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to analyze the research data. Results: The mean stigmatization score of the participants was 93.56 ± 21.74. The findings showed that living in a nuclear family, working in the labor or private sector, not using alcohol, and the presence of individuals with substance use disorder in the social environment were associated with the stigma score by 4% (p <.05). Conclusions: It was found that participants were highly stigmatized due to substance use disorders. It was found that those living in nuclear families, workers and those working in the private sector, those who do not use alcohol, and those who do not have a substance use disorder in their social environment stigmatize individuals with substance use disorders more. In order to reduce social stigmatization associated with substance use disorders, it is recommended to give importance to education, provide supportive services, promote social acceptance, and implement appropriate policies and legal frameworks.
