Factor structure and psychometric properties of an adapted HIV stigma tool for measuring disability-related stigma among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya – Findings from a cross-sectional study

The adapted HIV stigma scale showed good properties in terms of construct validity and reliability, for measuring aspects of disability-related stigma. These are promising results to build on to develop locally valid and standardised disability-related stigma and discrimination measurement tools.

Abstract

The adapted HIV stigma scale showed good properties in terms of construct validity and reliability, for measuring aspects of disability-related stigma. These are promising results to build on to develop locally valid and standardised disability-related stigma and discrimination measurement tools.
