Introduction
The stigma scale of the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue (EMIC Stigma Scale) was initially applied in India and adapted for different languages and cultures. It is considered simple and useful for assessing perceived and experienced stigma related to leprosy.
Translations in Makhuwa, Portuguese and Spanish are available but no studies on cultural validation of these translated scales have been conducted yet as far as the infoNTD team is aware. Please bring those studies to our attention if we have missed them.
