Title of project:
Lifecourse predictors of mental health and obesity stigma: data collection and analysis
Proposal summary:
This data collection and analysis in ALSPAC will form part of a larger project on health-related stigma. Following a process of expert consultation to identify the best available measurement tools and explore development of new ones, new data will be collected in ALSPAC measuring different types of stigma related to health. This will support analysis providing new insights on how these can be intervened on.
Impact of research:
Identification of life-course predictors of stigma can inform anti-stigma initiatives, for example by highlighting particular periods in which social contact with a person experiencing a stigmatized health condition has a larger impact on stigmatizing attitudes in adulthood, and whether certain population groups are especially at risk of health-related discrimination.
