Cannabis Use and Sexual Identity Exploration in Emerging Adulthood
Emerging adulthood is a transformative phase characterized by identity exploration, risk-taking, and evolving social roles.

This commentary explores the multifaceted links between stigma, substance use, and campus …

Semi-structured interviews ( n = 15) and written narratives ( n = 5) resulted …

Grounded in social exclusion and vulnerability theories, the research…
A qualitative analysis of derogatory labels used against persons with disabilities in Kashmir

Persons with disabilities (PWD) face stigma worldwide, and derogatory labels in the Kashmiri language compound this problem. We applied stigma and labelling theories to analyse the effects of societal labels on PWD in Kashmir. Focusing on women participants, we explored the unique, gender-specific experiences…
