Key Points

The study aimed to create and validate a scale to measure food insecurity stigma among adults with type 2 diabetes.
Identified and reworded 62 items from various stigma scales to focus on food insecurity.
Administered the scale to 150 food insecure adults participating in a trial.
Used exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, and McDonalds omega to assess the scale's validity and reliability.
12 items were identified, explaining 76.5% of variance with an eigenvalue of 9.18.
Cronbach’s alpha was 0.971, and McDonalds omega was 0.972, indicating high reliability of the scale.
Significant associations found between food insecurity stigma and higher food insecurity (b=0.04, p=0.003), depression (b=0.12, p=0.001), and lower mental health quality of life (b=-0.03, p=0.04).
