SHATTERPROOF AND ANTHEM BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD FOUNDATION PARTNER TO REDUCE HEALTHCARE STIGMA AROUND A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
Together, the organizations will develop and design an intervention that reduces addiction stigma
這些組織將共同開發和設計一種減少成癮污名的干預措施
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex and often stigmatized health condition that affects countless individuals, families and communities. Stigma against people with a SUD extends beyond individual and interpersonal levels. The Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index (SASI) found that healthcare professionals hold similar stigmatizing beliefs toward someone with a SUD. Specifically, the SASI revealed that 65% of healthcare professionals falsely believe that a SUD isn't a chronic disease.
俄亥俄州托萊多，2024年5月6日 /PRNewswire/ — 藥物使用障礙（SUD）是一種複雜且經常受到污名化的健康狀況，影響着無數個人、家庭和社區。對SUD患者的污名化不僅限於個人和人際層面。Shatterproof 成癮污名指數（SASI）發現，醫療保健專業人員對SUD患者持有類似的污名化信念。具體而言，SASI顯示，有65％的醫療保健專業人員錯誤地認爲SUD不是慢性病。
Healthcare professional stigma is driven by inadequate education, training and lack of support in working with individuals with SUDs, which manifests as discrimination and substandard care. To address addiction stigma among healthcare professionals, Shatterproof, a leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to reversing the addiction health crisis, is teaming up with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation to bring additional learning to the healthcare community, reduce stigma of individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and improve quality of care. The partners will disseminate an educational curriculum centered around substance use and the impact of intersectional stigma.
醫療保健專業人員的污名化是由教育、培訓不足以及在與SUD患者合作時缺乏支持造成的，這表現爲歧視和不合標準的護理。爲了解決醫療保健專業人員對成癮的污名化問題，致力於扭轉成癮健康危機的領先全國性非營利組織Shatterproof正在與Anthem Blue Cross和藍盾基金會合作，爲醫療保健界帶來更多學習，減少對藥物濫用障礙（SUD）患者的污名化並提高護理質量。合作伙伴將傳播以藥物使用和交叉污名影響爲中心的教育課程。
Through this partnership, the organizations developed an educational curriculum, A Provider's Pathway to Supporting Patients with Substance Use Disorder, to help remove stigma as a barrier to people's ability to receive evidence-based treatment for a SUD. Additionally, healthcare professionals will be equipped to provide culturally responsive care for communities that have been marginalized in the U.S. healthcare system. This version of the training will specifically focus on the Hispanic/Latino community. In Ohio alone, the Hispanic/Latino population experienced the largest increase (by 115%) in overdose fatalities compared to all other subpopulations and increased by two times from 24% in 2016 to more than 51% in 2020. Lucas and Mahoning Counties, specifically, landed in the top quartile of overdose fatality rates in the state between 2018 and 2020, at 50.4 and 48.2 per 100,000 people. Additionally, Lucas County and Mahoning County are in the top quartile in the state for the adult (18-64) Hispanic/Latino population at 4.1% and 3.9% and score high on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index. These factors make Lucas County and Mahoning County viable candidates for curriculum dissemination.
通過這種夥伴關係, 各組織制定了教育課程, 提供者爲藥物濫用障礙患者提供支持的途徑，以幫助消除恥辱感，因爲污名化是阻礙人們接受基於證據的SUD治療的障礙。此外，醫療保健專業人員將有能力爲在美國醫療保健系統中被邊緣化的社區提供具有文化敏感性的護理。此版本的培訓將特別關注西班牙裔/拉丁裔社區。僅在俄亥俄州，與所有其他亞群相比，西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口的藥物過量死亡人數增幅最大（增長115％），從2016年的24％增長到2020年的51％以上，增長了兩倍。具體而言，盧卡斯縣和馬霍寧縣在2018年至2020年期間位居該州藥物過量死亡率的前四分之一，爲每10萬人中有50.4至48.2人。此外，盧卡斯縣和馬霍寧縣在成年人（18-64歲）西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口中位居該州前四分位，分別爲4.1％和3.9％，在疾病預防控制中心的社會脆弱性指數中得分很高。這些因素使盧卡斯縣和馬霍寧縣成爲課程傳播的可行候選者。
The curriculum will be shared with medical doctors and primary care physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, doctors of osteopathic medicine, and physician assistants, so they can gain a better understanding of how best to address and care for people's unique treatment needs. Practitioners will access the curriculum through an online platform, and recruitment will be conducted through a multi-prong strategy including professional associations and local healthcare systems.
該課程將與醫生和初級保健醫生、高級執業註冊護士、整骨醫學醫生和醫師助理共享，這樣他們就可以更好地了解如何最好地滿足和照顧人們的獨特治療需求。從業者將通過在線平台訪問該課程，招聘將通過包括專業協會和當地醫療保健系統在內的多管齊下的策略進行。
To measure the efficacy of the curriculum, providers will be required to participate in a pre- and post-curriculum evaluation, in exchange for the no cost CME/CE credits earned by completing the course and participating in the study. Clinicians who complete the course are demonstrating their commitment to improving the levels of care provided to patients with SUDs, while having a positive impact on substance use and SUD research.
爲了衡量課程的有效性，提供者將被要求參與課前和課後評估，以換取通過完成課程和參與研究獲得的免費CME/CE學分。完成該課程的臨床醫生表明他們致力於提高向SUD患者提供的護理水平，同時對藥物使用和SUD研究產生積極影響。
"Healthcare professional stigma further disadvantages populations who have less access to care and support," said Gary Mendell, founder and CEO of Shatterproof. "In the United States, intersections between race/ethnicity, health inequities and substance use are well-documented. For example, Hispanic/Latino individuals needing SUD treatment (21%) are less likely to receive care compared to non-Hispanic/Latino individuals (25%). In partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, Shatterproof will better the lives of people in recovery, people who use drugs, and people seeking treatment for substance use disorders."
Shatterproof創始人兼首席執行官加里·門德爾說：“醫療保健專業人員的污名進一步使獲得醫療和支持的機會較少的人群處於不利地位。”“在美國，種族/民族、健康不平等和藥物使用之間的交叉點有據可查。例如，與非西班牙裔/拉丁裔人士（25％）相比，需要SUD治療的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人士（21％）接受治療的可能性較小。Shatterproof 與Anthem Blue Cross和藍盾基金會合作，將改善康復者、吸毒者和尋求藥物濫用障礙治療的人的生活。”
"Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield recognizes the long-standing racial and health inequities in our healthcare system and our society as a whole," said Angela Abeniam, health equity director at Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio. "With support through our Foundation, we are working with Shatterproof to address the social drivers and factors driving these disparities to create sustainable change in how healthcare practitioners treat substance use disorders and ensure Hispanic/Latino communities have continued recovery."
俄亥俄州Anthem藍十字和藍盾健康股權董事安吉拉·阿貝尼姆說：“Anthem藍十字和藍盾承認我們醫療體系乃至整個社會長期存在的種族和健康不平等現象。”“在基金會的支持下，我們正在與Shatterproof合作，解決導致這些差異的社會驅動因素和因素，從而爲醫療保健從業人員治療藥物濫用障礙的方式帶來可持續的變化，並確保西班牙裔/拉丁裔社區持續復甦。”
The funding for the partnership is through the Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation, a philanthropic arm of the Elevance Health Foundation. This work is part of a larger commitment of $30 million dedicated by Elevance Health Foundation to support programs that address mental health, with an emphasis on substance use disorder. Each program the Foundation invests in will focus on one of the following goals: prevention and early intervention of risk factors that lead to substance use disorders, improved access and quality of treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality of those with substance use disorders, and community support to promote lifelong recovery.
該合作伙伴關係的資金來自Anthem Blue Cross和Blue Shield基金會，該基金會是該基金會的慈善機構 Elevance 健康基金會。 這項工作是Elevance Health Foundation專門撥款3000萬美元的更大承諾的一部分，該承諾旨在支持以藥物濫用障礙爲重點的心理健康計劃。基金會投資的每項計劃都將側重於以下目標之一：預防和早期干預導致藥物濫用障礙的風險因素，改善治療的可及性和質量，以降低藥物濫用障礙患者的發病率和死亡率，以及爲促進終身康復提供社區支持。
