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 frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
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.
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.
I'm happy to share a recent publication on communication challenges during the #COVID19 #pandemic for #Swiss #publichealth institutions supported by the Special Call on Coronaviruses of the @snsf_ch. @GUniluzern @UniLuzern. Check it out 👇

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.
