Abstract

Canadian Muslims are a growing population at an increased risk of addiction who have been found to underutilize health services. The Canadian-Muslim Addiction Program (C-MAP) offers an innovative intervention serving as a practice for public-health education to transform addiction care in this population by reducing stigma and increasing help-seeking.

Résumé

Au Canada, les personnes de confession musulmane constituent une population croissante qui présente un risque accru de dépendance, et chez laquelle on a constaté une sous-utilisation des services de santé. Le programme de lutte contre la toxicomanie auprès de la population canadienne musulmane (C-MAP) est une intervention innovante qui sert de méthode d’éducation à la santé publique pour améliorer les soins en toxicomanie au sein de cette population en réduisant la stigmatisation et en augmentant la recherche d’aide.
