What the paper says

The revised definition of disability stigma identified by this research better aligns with the ICF and separates it analytically from health stigma. It enables more precise, including intersectional, analysis of disability stigma and provides a basis for clearer measurement. This will support targeted interventions and policies to address disability-related health inequalities, including barriers to accessing rehabilitation.
