Published online: 04 Sep 2023
 

Abstract

Different attitudes toward alcohol use disorder (AUD) and substance use disorders (SUD) require different evaluation. We aimed to develop and validate two measurement tools that evaluate the public stigma in terms of the stigma model: Public Stigma toward Alcohol Use Disorder Scale (PS-AUDS) and Public Stigma toward Substance Use Disorder Scale (PS-SUDS). The study was conducted with 503 individuals from Turkey. The 20 item- PS-AUDS explained 67.6% of the total variance. The 23 item -PS-SUDS explained 68.7% of the total variance. Cronbach alpha values of the scales were between .93 and .96. Results showed that the scales are valid and reliable.
