The present study involves a psychometric evaluation of the Substance Abuse Self-Stigma Scale (SASSS), a 40-item dimensional measure of internalized or self-stigma developed by Jason Luoma and collaborators, among Latinos with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). The current study's specific aim is to assess the psychometric properties (factor structure and reliability) of the translated and culturally adapted SASSS instrument in a cross-sectional study of individuals ( n = 412) with SUDs with or without HIV from correctional facilities and community treatment programs. A confirmatory factor analysis evidenced the four-factor structure of SASSS. Results showed significant correlations with HIV felt stigma among those participants with co-occurring SUD and HIV ( n =119), internalized shame, stigma-related interpersonal rejection due to substance abuse, symptoms of depression, substance use within the last 30 days, psychological flexibility, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, supporting good convergent validity. The measure showed a strong factor structure and adequate reliability estimates supporting its applicability to Latinos with SUDs from community and criminal justice settings. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for studies of stigma impact and intervention
