Randomized trial validates an Assamese version of the infertility stigma tool in women seeking fertility assistance, indicating cultural relevance.

The aim is to translate and validate the Assamese version of the Infertility Stigma Instrument-Female (ISI-F) for use in Assam.
Translated ISI-F administered among 188 Assamese-speaking women in two healthcare facilities.
Exploratory factor analysis, reliability assessment, and confirmatory factor analysis conducted.
Convergent validity examined through Spearman correlations with Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQOL) subscales.
EFA resulted in a refined 15-item scale divided into four factors, explaining 44.36% of variance.
Acceptable reliability demonstrated (Cronbach’s α = 0.728; McDonald’s ω = 0.911).
CFA showed a better model fit for the four-factor Assamese structure (RMSEA = 0.051; CFI = 0.92; TLI = 0.90).

Ojah et al. (2026) studied this question.
