Abstract: Background: Medical students and medical providers may have implicit biases related to substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), a condition that affects approximately 3.7 million individuals in the United States (US). This may lead to detriments in care and increased morbidity and mortality. Objectives: This scoping review summarizes the existing interventions for reducing anti-OUD stigma in osteopathic and allopathic medical schools and reports which are most effective. Methods: We followed PRISMA methods for a scoping review. Thirteen studies were identified from 2017-2024. Interventions included opioid overdose prevention training, lectures, and exposure to patient stories, and most (n = 9) used a previously validated measure of assessing stigma. Results: Eight studies showed a significant reduction in stigma. The inclusion of opioid overdose prevention training did not lead to a reduction in stigma and appeared to wash out the effects of education on stigma in one study. Conclusion: Multiple educational approaches were used to address anti-OUD stigma in US medical students, and more research is needed to determine which elements are the most effective.
