Role of the media in promoting the dehumanization of people who use drugs
American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, 2023
This paper traces the dehumanization of people who use drugs throughout the War on Drugs and its consequences in the present day. We call for humanizing strategies toward treating people with substance use disorders and a shift away from dehumanizing portrayals in the media.
