Disability Stigma Scale Items from Kenyan Farmers

Scale items measure enacted and experienced disability-related stigma among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. The dataset contains psychometric analysis results from a study of 3,642 participants for enacted stigma and 710 for experienced stigma. Anita Jeyam published the data in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate the two-factor structure for enacted stigma (negative attitudes and positive/supportive attitudes) using confirmatory factor analysis.
• Assess internal consistency of the six-item experienced stigma scale using McDonald's omega coefficient.
• Replicate exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on the split samples (N=3642 and N=710).
• Compare psychometric properties of adapted HIV stigma tools in a disability context.

Strengths

• Clear sample sizes: 3,642 participants for enacted stigma analysis and 710 for experienced stigma.
• Good reported internal consistency: McDonald's omega of 0.79 for enacted stigma scale and 0.82 for experienced stigma scale.
• Dataset includes results from both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.

Limitations

• Very small file size (5.5 KB) suggests the dataset contains only scale items or summary results, not the full raw survey responses.
• Sample is geographically limited to smallholder farmers in Western Kenya, limiting generalizability.
• Specific survey items, column names, and individual response data are not visible in the provided description.
