      ab: This study evaluated factors affecting the completion of blended-eLearning courses for health workers and their effect on stigma. The two courses covered the screening and management of harmful alcohol, tobacco, and other substance consumption in a lower-middle-income country setting. The courses included reading, self-reflection exercises, and skills practice on communication and stigma. The Anti-Stigma Intervention-Stigma Evaluation Survey was modified to measure stigma related to alcohol, tobacco, or other substances. Changes in stigma score pre- and post-training period were assessed using paired t-tests. Of the 123 health workers who registered, 99 completed the pre- and post-training surveys, including 56 who completed the course and 43 who did not. Stigma levels decreased significantly after the training period, especially for those who completed the courses. These findings indicate that blended-eLearning courses can contribute to stigma reduction and are an effective way to deliver continuing education, including in a lower-middle-income country setting.
