Fear and Stigma: The Epidemic within the SARS Outbreak
Open accessAbstract
Because of their evolving nature and inherent scientific uncertainties, outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases can be associated with considerable fear in the general public or in specific communities, especially when illness and deaths are substantial. Mitigating fear and discrimination directed toward persons infected with, and affected by, infectious disease can be important in controlling transmission. Persons who are feared and stigmatized may delay seeking care and remain in the community undetected. This article outlines efforts to rapidly assess, monitor, and address fears associated with the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in the United States. Although fear, stigmatization, and discrimination were not widespread in the general public, Asian-American communities were particularly affected.

In the citing paper
“Stigma was also examined as a potential factor related to mental health problems, as the early phase of an emerging outbreak tends to be characterized by intense disease-related stigma and fear due to its evolving nature and scientific uncertainties [20, 48].”

In the citing paper
“COVID-19 self-efficacy was explored as a predictor of mental health, as belief in one’s capacity to prevent COVID-19 and take necessary steps for treatment may facilitate an increased sense of control in an evolving outbreak [48].”

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.
