An International Validation of the Stigma Impact Scale With People With Dementia
The SIS is the most robustly tested instrument measuring self-stigma in dementia. The SIS has good to excellent reliability and relevance to the target population, however future work is required to improve the factor structure of the scale. Further the results of the validity testing pose a number of theoretical and empirical questions for future research.
