Measuring Internalized Health-Related Stigma Across Health Conditions: Development and Validation of the I-HEARTS Scale

Year: 2024

Type: data-paper

Abstract: Health-related stigma and its internalization among individuals with chronic health conditions contribute to impaired mental and physical health and quality of life. Research on health-related stigma has been siloed, with disease-specific measures that may not capture the experiences of individuals with multiple health conditions and that prevent comparisons across health conditions. The current study aimed to develop and test a transdiagnostic measure of internalized health-related stigma for use among adults with different health conditions.
