  • Title: Stigmatization, discrimination, and mental health: the impact of multiple identity status.
    Author: Thompson VL, Noel JG, Campbell J.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 2004 Oct; 74(4):529-44. PubMed ID: 15554813.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the empirical characteristics of the Experience of Discrimination Scale (EDS) using baseline data from the Center for Mental Health Services-funded, multisite Consumer Operated Services Project. Specific hypotheses focused on the influence of multiple identity status on reports of discrimination. Data indicated that discrimination caused by mental disability was associated with level of psychiatric symptoms and perceived social rejection as a result of mental illness, whereas discrimination for other reasons was associated with broader quality of life and social interaction indicators. The clinical and policy implications of findings are discussed.
