"Stigmatizing language about ME wtih Brooke Scoles, MPhil

The language and words used when referring to a disease and the patients who have the disease affect the kind of care the patients receive. Brooke Scoles analyzed how different diseases were discussed in an online forum for doctors, finding that ME was mentioned more often in negative ways than other diseases. In this webinar she talks about the study."
