The ISARIC Anti-Stigma Guidelines:A toolkit for stigma mitigation in infectious disease outbreaks

The ISARIC Anti-Stigma Guidelines are a practical resource collaboratively developed by outbreak responders, stigma researchers, and people with relevant lived experience to guide outbreak response organisations in identifying and mitigating stigma during infectious disease outbreaks. Stigma is a recurring, harmful feature of outbreaks that undermines public health responses and exacerbates social inequality. Despite growing awareness of these harms, operational guidance for outbreak-related stigma reduction remains limited.
