We examined the content of tweets on the social media site Twitter to better understand the contemporary discourse about medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), how this chat contributes to the pervasive underpinnings of drug addiction, chronic pain stigma, and the impact it has on demand and availability of treatment. A retrospective review of tweets over 3 months containing keywords buprenorphine, naltrexone, methadone, or bupe was conducted resulting in 5,068 tweets. A content analysis was carried out focusing on a subset of tweets. Themes emerged from including suspicion and conspiracy theories about MOUD, and frustration and lack of control over their treatment options. Other tweets shared stigmatizing language and attitudes related to OUD/MOUD (e.g., “Junkies”). Twitter is a rich source of data reflecting thoughts, opinions, and sentiments entities regarding MOUD. However, this information can contain malicious comments that perpetuate stigma for people with OUD and result in avoidance of treatment.

Tweeting Stigma:关于使用阿片类药物使用障碍和慢性疼痛的药物的Twitter话语探索

我们检查了社交媒体网站Twitter上的推文内容,以更好地理解有关阿片类药物使用障碍(MOUD)药物的当代话语,此聊天如何助长了成瘾性药物成瘾,慢性疼痛污名化以及对药物成瘾的影响需求和治疗的可用性。回顾了3个月内包含关键字buprenorphine,纳曲酮,美沙酮或bupe的推文,产生了5,068条推文。内容分析集中在一部分推文上。主题源自对MOUD的怀疑和阴谋论,以及对其治疗选择的沮丧和缺乏控制。其他推文分享了与OUD / MOUD有关的侮辱性语言和态度(例如,“瘾君子”)。Twitter是反映思想,观点,以及有关MOUD的情感实体。但是,此信息可能包含恶意注释,这些注释会给患有OUD的人以耻辱感,并导致避免治疗。
