Self-perceived stigma in Parkinson’s Disease in an online sample: Comparison with in-person sample, role of anxiety, and relative utility of four measures of stigma perception

Objective Persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) experience motor and non-motor symptoms that may elicit stigmatization. We investigated whether online assessment would replicate in-person findings of younger age and depression as predictors of stigma perception. We further assessed the predictive value of anxiety, and compared predictors across four stigma measures.
