We bring researchers, healthcare professionals & people with lived experience to every episode. Debunked dispels harmful myths and stereotypes about people who use drugs, persons in recovery, and evidence-based harm reduction efforts. Our mission is to foster understanding and reduce stigma. Every episode features the voices of people directly affected, researchers and medical professionals, and c
ommunity partners. Our aim is to nurture an open dialogue around what has been a taboo topic in Utah for far too long. Debunked episodes are released on the second Wednesday of each month, and can be found at upr.org/programs/debunked, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Debunked is presented by the Utah State University Office of Health Equity and Community Engagement and Tribal & Rural Opioid Initiative, housed within the USU Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services, Department of Kinesiology and Health Science in partnership with USU Extension. The program is made possible by SAMHSA Grant Award -01, Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah, and Utah Public Radio. Utah State University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution and is committed to a learning and working environment free from discrimination.
