This OPEN MINDS Executive Roundtable was delivered on December 5, 2024, by Courtney McKeon, Senior Vice President of the Shatterproof National Stigma Initiative. She discussed the findings of the 2024 Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index. The index provides a comprehensive view of the public’s perceptions, attitudes, and misconceptions about SUD across four types of stigma: public stigma, structural stigma, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) stigma, and self-stigma. Ms. McKeon also discussed why reducing stigma can improve consumer outcomes, increase employee productivity, and strengthen community relations.
