Abstract
Stigma towards Substance Use Disorders remains an impediment to those seeking treatment. We conducted an experiment to test whether the presence of a Collegiate Recovery Community could reduce college students’ stigmatization toward students diagnosed with substance use disorders. Results found that CRC has a small effect on perceptions of students.
