This study established validity evidence for scales that assess perceived public stigma and stigmatization of illicit drug use. These concepts were measured with respect to five commonly used drugs: marijuana, powder cocaine, ecstasy, and nonmedical use of opioids and amphetamine. Data were collected from a diverse sample of 1,048 emerging adults in New York City in 2009. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggested two distinct factors, which were inversely related to exposure to users and recent use of each drug. These measures demonstrated good criterion, construct, and incremental validity and effectiveness in analyzing predictors of use. Study limitations were discussed.
本研究为评估公众对五种常见毒品（大麻、可卡因、摇头丸、阿片类药物和安非他命的非医疗用途）使用的感知污名和污名化的量表提供了效度证据。数据来自 2009 年纽约市的 1048 名新兴成年人的多样化样本。探索性和验证性因素分析表明存在两个不同的因素，这两个因素与接触使用者和每种药物的近期使用呈负相关。这些测量方法在分析使用预测因素方面表现出良好的标准、结构和增量有效性。讨论了研究的局限性。
