Dr. Budhwani (pronouns: she/her) is an Associate Professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Public Health (SOPH), Visiting Professor in the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), and affiliated faculty with the Florida State University (FSU) Center for Translational Behavioral Science. Dr. Budhwani conducts studies to address the causes and consequences of health disparities among stigmatized populations that experience adverse health outcomes in resource-constrained settings. Dr. Budhwani’s research is informed by sociological constructs, guided by human rights frameworks, and adopts a multidimensional view of how to address public health and clinical care inequities.
Overview:
The deleterious effects of stigma on health are notable and severe. The American Psychiatry Association has a webpage dedicated to stigma, and the American Psychological Association sponsors the journal, Stigma and Health. From Stigma and Health’s page, “The lives of people with disease and disability are worsened by stigma, thus leading to public prejudice, loss of self-worth, and negative implications for health and well-being.” This said, there are few efficacious interventions that successfully reduce stigma, Motivational Interviewing (MI), being one of the,
MI uses client-centered, goal-oriented methods, to enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy of patients. MI-communication can promote behavioral change across multiple targets. Due to its success, MI is embedded in the clinical guidelines for HIV care in the US, and MI’s emphasis on non-judgmental, autonomy-supportive communication behaviors is particularly relevant to stigmatized patients and clients.
The purpose of this webinar is to introduce attendees to dimensions of stigma (e.g., enacted, internalized, etc.) and discuss how adopting MI in clinical settings can reduce stigma, potentially leading to fewer missed clinical visits and improved adherence to provider recommendations.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will be able to explain to the concept of stigma, specifically perceived, enacted, and internalized stigma
- Assess the effects of stigma on mental and physical health
- Describe how Motivational Interviewing can reduce stigma in clinical settings
