Abstract
In the past two decades, there has been a substantial research on disease related stigma especially the HIV stigma. However, only a few studies address the issue of HCV related social stigma. Through this study a scale was developed to measure HCV related social stigma. The scale was developed using literature review and interview with 26 individuals divided in five different groups. The nineteen item scale developed after this activity was distributed among 221 respondents. Results indicate that the scale shows robust psychometric properties with good alpha value having a four factor solution. The results are discussed with theoretical and practical implications that how this scale will facilitate measurement of HCV related social stigma in future studies.
