    This study offers a helpful starting point in identifying opportunities to address a critical service delivery gap in India.

Stigmatization has often been common during pandemics, and public health and emergency preparedness practitioners can help to mitigate its impacts by developing interventions to address the social stressors that occur during outbreaks in highly-localized geographic r…
