Privacy, Care-seeking, and Stigma: A Qualitative Investigation of Patient Perspectives on Sharing Substance Use Disorder Treatment Records
Sharing of SUD treatment records with health care professionals was generally viewed positively and privacy concerns did not appear to deter participants from seeking care. Stigma was a concern among participants, especially women. The unawareness of how records are shared highlights the need to better engage persons with SUDs in clinical conversations about their records.
