Addiction stigma is under-researched and largely unaddressed.

Shatterproof is changing that.

The Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index (SASI) was developed as a first-of-its-kind measurement tool and the most expansive survey ever fielded on substance use disorder (SUD) stigma in the U.S.

The SASI explores the public’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding SUD.

It was designed to set a baseline measurement, as well as to measure progress and hold our nation accountable for reducing the stigma associated with addiction.
