The cross-sectional online survey was conducted among psychiatrists, narcologists (drug addiction specialists), psychotherapists, psychiatry residents and mental health nurses from all regions of Kazakhstan using the 15-item Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Healthcare Providers (OMS-HC). The mean stigma score was 40.1 of a possible 75, with higher stigma observed among older professionals (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a03.32; 95% CI: 1.24, 5.39) and those working in the drug addiction field (\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a01.99; 95% CI: 0.32, 3.66).
