Participants described OPCs as a tool for destigmatizing overdose and substance use, yet confronted institutionalized stigma and discriminatory attitudes toward people who use drugs (PWUD) and harm reduction from multiple sources (eg, politicians, media, and members of the public). Opposition toward OPCs and harm reduction approaches more broadly intersected with public discourse on crime, homelessness, and public disorder. Employed stigma-mitigation strategies included humanizing PWUD, publicizing the benefits of OPCs to the wider community, and strategically engaging media.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings illustrate the importance of understanding stigma at different stages of the policymaking process to better facilitate authorization and eventual implementation of OPCs in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/29767342241253663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,28]],"date-time":"2024-05-28T07:54:12Z","timestamp":1716882852000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["\u201cPolitics Versus Policy\u201d: Qualitative Insights on Stigma and Overdose Prevention Center Policymaking in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Kristin","family":"Koehm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph G.","family":"Rosen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesse L.","family":"Yedinak Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1147-479X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Tardif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harm Reduction Innovation Lab, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harm Reduction Innovation Lab, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ju Nyeong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA"},{"name":"Harm Reduction Innovation Lab, Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, RI, USA"},{"name":"Division of General Internal Medicine, The Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-29767342241253663","unstructured":"National Institute on Drug Abuse.
