However, existing research concerning the use of labels for substance use has largely focused on perspectives of treatment providers and the general public, and to a lesser degree of those in long\u2010term recovery. This study aimed to examine and compare labels that individuals who use heroin and are initiating SUD treatment (1) use to describe themselves and when speaking with others who use drugs, with family and with treatment providers, and (2) prefer to be called and never want to be called.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Design and Setting<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>This was a cross\u2010sectional survey study using a convenience sample of individuals initiating an in\u2010patient managed withdrawal program in Massachusetts, USA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between October 2017 and May 2018, 263 participants were enrolled.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants completed a survey about (1) what labels they used to refer to self and when talking with others who use drugs, with providers, families and at 12\u2010Step meetings and (2) to identify which label they preferred least and most for others to use when referring to them.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>More than 70% of participants used the term \u2018addict\u2019 to describe themselves and when speaking with others. However, use of \u2018addict\u2019 varied by context, and was most common at 12\u2010Step programs. Fewer than 15% reported using \u2018user\u2019 or slang terms, most commonly \u2018junkie\u2019, in any communications. The most\u2010preferred label for others to call them was \u2018person who uses drugs\u2019, while the most common label that participants never wanted to be called was \u2018heroin misuser\u2019 or \u2018heroin\u2010dependent\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Label preferences by individuals who use heroin and are in early recovery are consistent with general guidelines about use of first\u2010person language and suggest avoidance of language indicative of drug misuse or dependence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/add.14699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]],"date-time":"2019-05-29T06:50:00Z","timestamp":1559112600000},"page":"1785-1790","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["In their own words: language preferences of individuals who use heroin"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"114","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2074-8775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ekaterina","family":"Pivovarova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Massachusetts Medical School  Worcester MA USA"},{"name":"Massachusetts Center of Excellence for Specialty Courts  Worcester MA USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael\u00a0D.","family":"Stein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Law, Policy and Management, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA"},{"name":"Butler Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08897077.2014.930372"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002204261004000403"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/nsad-2015-0051"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2018.05.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","first-page":"131","article-title":"\u2018Abusing addiction\u2019: our language still isn't good enough","volume":"189","author":"Ashford R.
