Exploring the social experiences, stigma and discrimination, faced by women with gestational diabetes: A collaborative qualitative study and item‐pool development
Findings provide rich insights into the experiences and impacts of stigma among women with GDM in Australia and resulted in a co-designed GDM-specific stigma item pool. The item pool is ready for psychometric assessment and item reduction, which will enable future quantification of the occurrence, impacts and mechanisms of GDM-specific stigma.
