Abstract
Disease-related stigmatization is present in patients with IBD and includes internalization of discriminatory attitudes or behaviors. Prior studies show IBD-related stigma is associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, this has not been well-studied in underrepresented racial and ethnic minority populations (URM). The aim of the current study is to evaluate levels of internalized stigma in URM IBD patients and its relationship with the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) domains of anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, social functioning, and pain interference.
