5/5: 📝 Moving forward, #FutureStudies must explore alternative measurement strategies. Longitudinal investigations and diverse samples are needed for a broader understanding. Let's strive for #EthicalResearch that mitigates stigmatizing effects.

[Alexander Ort @lexander_ort]

Research in various fields regularly uses scales with stigmatizing statements to investigate #stigma. What impact does this have on participants? Freya Sukalla & I explore potential detrimental effects. Check it out and see 🧵👇! @GUniluzern @UniLuzern https://t.co/MXSO1JsfUZ

4/5: 💡 Our findings have practical implications for #AntiStigmaCommunication & #AntiStigmaInterventions in #PublicHealth. Using negative stereotypes in interventions may lead to unintended consequences. Careful consideration and sensitivity are necessary when combating stigma.

However, it's not all gloomy! Institutions were creative in developing their own strategies and best practices. They focused on fostering collaboration, promoting transparency, and effectively addressing misinformation.
