    Stigma among Help Seeking People with Alcohol use Disorder, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a Facility Based Qualitative Study
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-04-10) Yodit Endalamaw; Awoke Mihretu
    Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is one of the most highly stigmatized conditions. Stigma has several impacts on people with AUD such as decreasing their self-esteem, negatively affecting social relationships, and leading to maladaptive coping strategies like withdrawal and secrecy. Despite evidence indicating that individuals with AUD perceive and experience stigma in the healthcare system, leading to decreased help seeking behavior and diminished recovery in various contexts, there is a lack of understanding regarding the stigma of AUD in Ethiopia.
