Abstract
Applying and extending the concealable stigmatized identity outcomes model, this two-wave study examined the psychological, behavioral, physical, and relational health consequences of experienced stigma among a sample of 124 individuals with concealable chronic health conditions. Path analyses revealed that chronic health condition-related experienced stigma was associated with greater chronic health condition-related stress, which in turn was linked to more physical health problems and, ultimately, poorer relational health 4 months later. These findings demonstrate that chronic health condition-related experienced stigma not only creates psychological, behavioral, and physical health consequences but also contributes to poor relational health over time among individuals with chronic health conditions.
