First, patient selection requires integration of cognitive, functional, and biological data, moving beyond rigid global score thresholds. Second, safety monitoring must balance ARIA risk with real-world feasibility through risk-adapted MRI surveillance. Third, effective implementation depends on transparent communication and continuous shared decision-making, particularly when benefit is uncertain or safety events occur.

We aimed to provide first robust, quantitative metrics of non-disclosure, treatment avoidance, and treatment discontinuation for any medical treatment directly attributable to HCP stigma and to explore the lived experiences underpinning these behaviors.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We conducted a prospective mixed-methods study with 119 adult inpatients with SUDs at a German university hospital (2021–2024). A self-developed questionnaire assessed stigma-related behaviors and their association with self-stigmatization. Qualitative data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis (RTA). A person with lived experiences contributed to writing up the manuscript.</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>49.6% (95% CI 40.3–58.9; n = 59/119) reported non-disclosure of substance use, 36.1% (95% CI 27.5–45.5; n = 43/119) avoided necessary medical treatment, and 29.4% (95% CI 21.4–38.5; n = 35/119) discontinued treatment due to stigma. Internalized stigma significantly predicted all three outcomes (aORs 1.055–1.075, p ≤ .001). RTA identified “Institutional Stigma” (addiction as a “moral failing”), “Barriers to Care” (obstacles to respectful treatment), and “Cost of Disclosure” (negative consequences such as hostility after revealing substance use).</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>Stigma from HCPs is a quantifiable contributor of treatment disengagement, representing a direct threat to patient safety and a major contributor to the SUD treatment gap. These findings underscore the urgent need for evidence-based interventions, including training HCPs across all specialties in non-stigmatizing communication, to improve healthcare engagement for this vulnerable population and narrow the substantial treatment gap.</div></div><div><h3>Funding</h3><div>None.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53223,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Regional Health-Europe","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 101587"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145978785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
