In a new Health Policy Brief published today, Sarah Hemeida and
coauthors highlight stigma as an inherently structural phenomenon with
significant health implications
<[link removed]>.
They analyze how laws are powerful mediators for structural stigma and
critical levers for anti-stigma work.
Key findings in the brief include:
* Stigma itself is a powerful social determinant of health and has been
demonstrated to worsen physical health outcomes and social well-being
and to reduce educational achievements and income levels among people
who experience stigma.
* Laws are a particularly powerful mediator for structural stigma, as
illustrated in this brief through the example of stigma related to
people with substance use disorder (SUD).
* The legal domains in which stigma against people with SUD is most
prevalent include employment law, legal findings, and nuisance law.
