Abstract
Stigma is an important psychological factor associated with several person- and injury-related characteristics and psychosocial outcomes. Furthermore, stigma mediates particular relationships between sociodemographic or injury-related characteristics and outcomes. These findings will inform the development of interventions designed to mitigate stigma's negative impact on outcomes such as mood, quality of life, and participation after SCI.
