Using the example of supervised injection site opposition in Canada, the use of "addict" is used as a way to understand how stigma through language works to impede the expansion of harm reduction initiatives." | *"The use of labels is one way stigma is perpetuated by eliciting the label's stereotyped narratives onto an individual or group.
