          Abstract

          Abstract This case study analyzes the implications of deficit discourse on the daily conversations of a mother who requested forced treatment for her son. Data were analyzed drawing on social construction, with an emphasis on positioning theory and deficit discourse. Two episodes displaying deficit discourse were analyzed: one about the son as someone who is powerless, coping with drug use and another about the mother as someone unable to help her son. A sample letter was constructed using relational discourse, which provided new understandings for practice. Results support the benefits of collaborative and relational approaches for people who use drugs and for the emotional support of families.

          Resumen Este estudio de caso analiza las implicaciones del discurso del déficit en las conversaciones diarias de una madre que solicitó tratamiento forzado para su hijo. Los datos fueron analizados a partir de la construcción social, con énfasis en la teoría del posicionamiento y el discurso del déficit. Se analizaron dos episodios a partir del discurso del déficit: uno sobre el hijo como alguien que es impotente frente al uso de drogas y otro sobre la madre como alguien incapaz de ayudar a su hijo. Se construyó una carta ilustrativa utilizando el discurso relacional, que proporcionó nuevas comprensiones para la práctica. Los resultados respaldan los beneficios de los enfoques colaborativos y relacionales para el soporte emocional de las personas que usan drogas y sus familias.

          Résumé Cette étude de cas analyse les implications du discours déficitaire sur les conversations quotidiennes d’une mère qui a demandé traitement forcé pour son fils. Les données ont été analysées en s’appuyant sur la construction sociale, en mettant l’accent sur la théorie du positionnement et le discours déficitaire. Deux épisodes ont été analyses utilisant le discours déficitaire: l’un sur le fils en tant que personne impuissante face à l’usage de drogue, et l’autre sur la mère en tant que personne incapable d’aider son fils. Une lettre illustrative a été construit utilisant le discours relationnel, qui a fourni de nouvelles compréhensions pour la pratique. Les résultats confirment les avantages des approches collaboratives et relationnelles pour le soutien émotionnel des personnes qui consomment des drogues et leurs familles.

Os dados foram analisados a partir da construção social, com ênfase na teoria do posicionamento e do discurso do déficit.

          Stigma at every turn: Health services experiences among people who inject drugs

          Background People who inject drugs (PWID) encounter varying forms of stigma in health services contexts, which can contribute to adverse outcomes. We explored the lived experience of stigma among PWID to elucidate pathways by which stigma influences health care access and utilization. Methods We conducted 46 qualitative interviews with PWID in California’s Central Valley between March and December 2015, as part of a multi-phase, multi-method study examining implementation of a new pharmacy syringe access law. A “risk environment” framework guided our data collection and we used a deductive/inductive approach to analyze the qualitative data. Results Participants repeatedly cited the impact of stigma on syringe access, particularly in the context of meso-level pharmacist interactions. They described being denied syringe purchase as stigmatizing and embarrassing, and these experiences discouraged them from attempting to purchase syringes under the new pharmacy access law. Participants described feeling similarly stigmatized in their meso-level interactions with first responders and hospital staff, and associated this stigmatization with delayed and substandard medical care for overdoses and injection-related infections. Drug treatment was another area where stigma operated against PWID’s health interests; participants described macro-level public stigma towards methadone (e.g., equating methadone treatment with illicit drug use) as discouraging participation in this evidence-based treatment modality and justifying exclusion of methadone patients from recovery support services like sober living and Narcotics Anonymous. Conclusion Stigma played an undeniably important role in PWID’s experiences with health services access and utilization in the Central Valley. Our study illustrates the need to develop and test interventions that target drug use stigma at both structural and individual levels to minimize adverse effects on PWID health.

              Estimating treatment coverage for people with substance use disorders: an analysis of data from the World Mental Health Surveys.

              Substance use is a major cause of disability globally. This has been recognized in the recent United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in which treatment coverage for substance use disorders is identified as one of the indicators. There have been no estimates of this treatment coverage cross-nationally, making it difficult to know what is the baseline for that SDG target. Here we report data from the World Health Organization (WHO)'s World Mental Health Surveys (WMHS), based on representative community household surveys in 26 countries. We assessed the 12-month prevalence of substance use disorders (alcohol or drug abuse/dependence); the proportion of people with these disorders who were aware that they needed treatment and who wished to receive care; the proportion of those seeking care who received it; and the proportion of such treatment that met minimal standards for treatment quality ("minimally adequate treatment"). Among the 70,880 participants, 2.6% met 12-month criteria for substance use disorders; the prevalence was higher in upper-middle income (3.3%) than in high-income (2.6%) and low/lower-middle income (2.0%) countries. Overall, 39.1% of those with 12-month substance use disorders recognized a treatment need; this recognition was more common in high-income (43.1%) than in upper-middle (35.6%) and low/lower-middle income (31.5%) countries. Among those who recognized treatment need, 61.3% made at least one visit to a service provider, and 29.5% of the latter received minimally adequate treatment exposure (35.3% in high, 20.3% in upper-middle, and 8.6% in low/lower-middle income countries). Overall, only 7.1% of those with past-year substance use disorders received minimally adequate treatment: 10.3% in high income, 4.3% in upper-middle income and 1.0% in low/lower-middle income countries. These data suggest that only a small minority of people with substance use disorders receive even minimally adequate treatment. At least three barriers are involved: awareness/perceived treatment need, accessing treatment once a need is recognized, and compliance (on the part of both provider and client) to obtain adequate treatment. Various factors are likely to be involved in each of these three barriers, all of which need to be addressed to improve treatment coverage of substance use disorders. These data provide a baseline for the global monitoring of progress of treatment coverage for these disorders as an indicator within the SDGs.
