Abstract

The relationship between self-reported stigma and potentially stigmatizing events was investigated by interviewing ninety people bereaved by a suicide of a relative or close friend. Twenty-eight felt stigmatized by the suicide (S respondents) and sixty-two did not (N respondents). Fourteen potentially stigmatizing events were examined. S respondents were significantly more likely than were N respondents to have encountered gossip, to have had a negative reaction to the conduct of officials, and to have moved within one month after the suicide. S Respondents had encountered significantly more events than had N respondents, suggesting a possible cumulative effect. Three case examples of stigma are presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
