L’objectif

The objective of our study was to explore mental health clinician attitudes towards substance use and associations with clinical experience and education level

Constatations/points à retenir

Respondents’ attitudes towards substance use were associated with level of education on questions from two (non-stereotyping and treatment optimism) subscales. In pairwise comparisons, postgraduate education was associated with more positive attitudes towards relapse risk when compared to diploma-educated respondents. No significant associations were observed between years of clinical experience and participant responses.
