成瘾医学的学术期刊和专业组织最近讨论了采用非污名化和精确术语的重要性。本评注将正在进行的讨论扩大到与治疗过程和结果有关的术语。综述了与治疗过程和结果相关的污名化和不精确术语的四个隐含假设，并提出了反对这些假设的研究证据。评论最后建议使用过程和结果的积极行为指标，更重要的是，伴随着对患者行为的非评估性、客观描述。
Scholarly journals and professional organizations in addiction medicine have recently discussed the importance of adopting non-stigmatizing and precise terminology. The present commentary expands that ongoing discussion to terms related to treatment processes and outcomes. Four implicit assumptions of stigmatizing and imprecise terms related to treatment processes and outcomes are overviewed, and research evidence against these assumptions is presented. The commentary ends with recommendations for the use of positive behavioral indicators of processes and outcomes and, more importantly, accompanying them with non-evaluative, objective descriptors of patients’ behaviors.
