UNDERSTAND

What is happening here?

Benefits, side effects, cost, stigma, and routines can all shape a medication conversation. Preparing questions can make a visit more useful. This activity does not interpret symptoms, select a medication, or recommend starting, stopping, or changing a dose.

Conceptual background

NIH · Substance use disorders. This reference supports the broad concept; it does not validate or endorse this original exercise.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE

How to use it

  1. Use the fictional situation or a low-stakes request of your own.
  2. Build a specific message, including a limit or workable alternative.
  3. Rehearse it silently or aloud, then consider what to do if the request is declined.

For thoughtful facilitation

Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.

Fit and care: Discuss medication changes with a qualified prescriber. Do not use an activity to stop medication or manage withdrawal.
