“…Moreover, participants described feeling that their experiences were validated after reading the website and they re ected that if viewed earlier in their illness trajectory, it could have helped them feel less alone. In the context of the stigma around sexual health-related conditions, and the mental health challenges among people with endometriosis [30], the de-stigmatizing and therapeutic potential of a website such as ours deserves subsequent investigation [31]. Furthermore, the link between the provision of health information and self-management has been previously described [32].…”

“…A Delphi study was chosen because it supports the development of items through consensus-building among a group of experts on a given topic. A panel of experts in stigma and sexual health research were consulted via an online survey and asked to appraise and critique a preliminary set of design guidelines identified from the literature and from prior studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]18,19]. The panel of experts were also asked to comment on each guideline as well as identify additional design guidelines that they thought could help address stigma via digital platforms.…”

For instance, people living with sexual health-related conditions can link the appearance of sexual health-related content to an existing public stigma, thereby resulting in a digital health technology that elicits stigma.…”

“…We assessed for destigmatizing properties as websites on sensitive health topics are not typically assessed for their ability to address or exacerbate stigma despite stigma being an outcome of interest for content developers [16][17][18]. That is, it is unclear how the design of digital platforms for general sensitive health problems could help address stigma or inadvertently reproduce and perpetuate stigma among users [19,20].…”

“…Given that some sexual health-related technologies may inadvertently exacerbate stigma [19,20], the follow-up interviews also included questions to understand the ways in which such websites can be designed to address stigma. In other words, the focus of the interviews was to use our website as a reference point to identify generalities about how destigmatizing sexual health-related websites could be designed.…”
