Researchers have developed methods to analyze self-stigma expressed by individuals who use drugs in online communities, specifically on Reddit. One study created a codebook to categorize self-stigma into cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains, finding that behavioral indicators often precede internalized ones and that self-stigma is an integrated phenomenon. A second study explored using persona-aware large language models (LLMs) to provide tailored support, identifying four distinct personas of self-stigma expression. While persona-matched LLM responses showed promise in achieving targeted behavioral shifts, expert evaluators preferred the generic empathy of a non-persona-aware baseline, highlighting a tension between clinical alignment and holistic empathy in LLM support design.
