Associates of stigma in an incident XXXX population from northern Manhattan, New York City.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity308 @entity302
OBJECTIVE: Stigma is associated with prevalent @entity302 , but its association with incident @entity302 is unknown. METHODS: We identified 209 @entity1 and adults with incident @entity410 from the diverse impoverished community of northern Manhattan. We interviewed 94 @entity1 , aged 16 and older, about lifetime history of @entity308 , health status, medical history, and stigma. RESULTS: At baseline, 18 (22.5%) @entity1 reported experiencing stigma. Stigma was reported by 9 (50.0%) with @entity308 and 9 (14.5%) without @entity308 (P=0.002). At 1 year, 7 (8.1%) @entity1 reported experiencing stigma. Stigma was reported by 5 (31.3%) with @entity308 versus 1 (1.6%) without @entity308 (P<0.0001). At both time points, odds of stigma increased when lifetime history of @entity308 and fair/poor health was present. CONCLUSIONS: Previous work revealed negative effects of prevalent @entity302 on stigma. In the low-income, predominantly Hispanic community of northern Manhattan, we found incident @entity302 was associated with stigma when lifetime history of @entity308 or fair/poor health was present.
