Stigma is a salient experience for both caregivers/parents and individuals with Disorders/Differences of Sex Development (DSD) as evidenced through qualitative and preliminary quantitative reports. However, few validated measures of associative stigma (i.e., vicarious stigma experienced through close association with someone who is socially stigmatized) for parents of children with DSD exist. The present study aims to (1) determine the factor structure of the adapted Stigma Scale - Parent, and (2) examine convergent validity of the factor structure with measures of parent psychosocial adjustment. Confirmatory factor analytic results revealed two factors: a parent-focused factor and a child-focused factor. The parent-focused factor demonstrated convergent validity with parent adjustment measures, but the child-focused factor did not. Together, these results indicate that parent-focused and child-focused stigma are distinct factors, with parent-focused associative stigma being related to parent adjustment following DSD diagnosis. Future research should further refine this measure to determine predictive validity and clinical value
