  • Summary

    Substance use disorders (SUD) often occur in companion to other stigmatized characteristics, e.g., lower socioeconomic status, employment status, criminal record, race, gender, sexual orientation, or comorbid physical condition. Isolating each of these conditions when addressing stigma might miss the complexity of injustice and discrimination in our society. The concept of intersectional stigma addresses the effect of combined disadvantageous positions. This chapter provides an overview of findings on SUD stigma at intersectionality’s classical focal points: the intersections of race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We then discuss the following questions: does intersectional analysis of SUD stigma need to include additional attributes to fully capture the multifaceted nature of SUD stigma, and how can they be identified? Are there common denominators of SUD stigma that can be addressed with broader benefit? Finally, we present how intersectional analysis can result in practical interventions that might help people with SUD become more resilient to stigmatization.

  • This article examines the relationship between poverty and mental health problems. We draw on the experience of Glasgow, our home city, which contains some of Western Europe's areas of greatest concentrated poverty and poorest health outcomes. We highlight how mental health problems are related directly to poverty, which in turn underlies wider health inequalities. We then outline implications for psychiatry.
