Despite this, AOD use stigma has rarely been studied in the context of TB and other co-occurring conditions. We examined the perceptions and experiences of AOD use-related stigma among individuals who were previously diagnosed with TB or were at increased risk of TB based on their close contacts, in a rural community in the Western Cape, South Africa. We analyzed qualitative data collected by two studies (study 1: five focus groups (n=34), study 2: ten focus groups (n=84)). Findings highlighted that study participants who use AODs experienced intersectional stigma from multiple sources. AOD use- and TB-related stigma were experienced from friends, family, healthcare providers, and the broader community, particularly for those who used illicit drugs. Participants discussed stigma's effects on their health and well-being. The negative effects of AOD use stigma were particularly salient among female participants.

Interpersonal health care discrimination-based on one's sexual orientation, race-ethnicity, or both-and delayed treatment for alcohol use were examined among a nationally representative sample of SM adults from the 2012 to 2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (<i>N</i> = 3,201), the only nationally representative survey that assesses multiple domains of sexual orientation, experiences of health care discrimination, and treatment intentions and utilization.

As part of the ongoing NIDA-funded Kentucky Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) trial, 900 women with a history of opioid use disorder were randomly selected from nine Kentucky jails, consented, and interviewed on their substance use histories and related stigma, ACEs, and MH. Linear regression with mediation was used to analyze data. Women were an average age of 37 years and were predominantly non-Hispanic white (92.4%). ACEs and all MH variables were significantly associated with ISUS (<i>p</i><.001). Mediation models indicated that anxiety and depression partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and ISUS, each explaining about a third (anxiety=38%, depression=32%) of the total effect of this relationship. Additionally, PTSD fully mediated this relationship, highlighting that PTSD is a significant explanatory factor and accounts for about 69% of the relationship.

Further, negative affect may play a role in the discrimination-sleep association. The current cross-sectional study investigated the association of general and Multiracial discrimination and negative affect with global sleep quality among a convenience sample of 193 Multiracial college students. Participants were recruited from a predominantly White institution in 2021 and completed an online survey reporting lifetime discriminatory experiences (general and Multiracial-specific), negative affect (depressive and anxiety symptoms), and past-month global sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). Findings from a hierarchical linear regression model indicated that covariates (i.e., age and sex) accounted for 2% of the variance in sleep quality.

Negative affect also significantly predicted poor sleep quality when added in the model (<i>ϐ</i>=.56, <i>p</i><.001), further accounting for 25% of variance.

We advance stigma research by examining how stigma affects a parent's decision to seek formal and informal mental health support for their child depending on the child's gender. Using longitudinal data from a school-based anti-stigma intervention study among sixth-grade students, we analyzed the subsample of children who reported high mental health symptoms (<i>n</i>=217). Regression models assessed the role of parental stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors and child gender on parental formal and informal help-seeking, including the child's use of psychiatric medications. To examine gendered patterns to stigma and help-seeking, we tested interactions between parental stigmatizing attitudes and the child's self-reported gender on help-seeking behaviors. Mental health labeling and literacy were associated with proactive parental help-seeking behaviors, while discriminatory stigma dimensions like social distance decreased help-seeking. These stigma effects varied by child gender, particularly when it came to formal avenues of care: Labeling enhanced parental help-seeking for girls in formal settings, while social distance deterred medication use among girls.

This systematic scoping review aimed to (a) examine fistula-related stigma experiences, (b) assess stigma and discrimination consequences, and (c) compare how stigma, its severity, and related stigma coping and resistance differ across contexts. We searched 10 scientific databases for original research on fistula-related stigma through June 8, 2021. Findings were thematically analyzed and summarized in table and narrative format. We calculated pooled prevalence for divorce/separation, anxiety, and depression. A total of 199 unique articles were identified across 41 countries, predominantly from sub-Saharan Africa. Findings highlight multiple manifestations of fistula stigma including enacted, internalized, anticipated, caregiver, and structural stigma. Fistula stigma intersected with infertility, gender, disability, and poverty stigma. Stigma consequences included mental health and psychological distress, lost employment/income, and limited social engagement. Pooled prevalence of divorce/separation was 35% (95% CI [30%, 41%]), depression 65% (95% CI [56%, 74%]), and anxiety 52% (95% CI [27%, 75%]). Common coping strategies included self-isolation or social withdrawal and keeping oneself clean; stigma resistance was rarely reported. Social support was protective of stigma. Few stigma interventions were identified; none evaluated implementation context or strategies to inform adoption and sustainability.

Thus, we adapted an existing measure of suicide attempt stigma (Scocco et al., 2012) to develop a measure of perceived public NSSI stigma (Stigma of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury [STONSI] Scale). In two samples of young adult university students (one not screened and one prescreened for elevated depressive symptoms), we found support for a two-factor structure of the STONSI (one factor with reverse coded items and one factor with non-reverse coded items), which is used to create an average of all items, consistent with that identified for the suicide attempt stigma measure from which it was adapted. The STONSI exhibited strong internal consistency, as well as within-person stability over a six-week follow-up period. STONSI scores did not differ by lifetime history of NSSI; however, perceived public NSSI stigma was associated with indicators of NSSI severity. Future work is needed to test the validity and reliability of the STONSI in diverse samples with respect to age, clinical setting, and cultural context.
