- Background: Stigma contributes to negative health outcomes and amplifies health disparities in epilepsy. This study aimed to investigate associations of perceived stigma with the country of birth and socioeco-nomic status (SES). Methods: This is a cross-sectional questionnaire study. Participants were recruited consecutively from three demographically different neurology outpatient clinics in the southwest of Sweden. Participants responded to a questionnaire concerning their epilepsy, country of birth, mother tongue, and different SES-variables. The Neuro-QOL stigma scale and the Jacoby stigma scale were applied to assess stigma and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and PROMIS Mental Health scale were applied to assess mental health. Results: In total 161 adults with epilepsy were included in the cohort. The median Neuro-QOL stigma score was 48.3, and was higher among foreign-born than in native-born participants (foreign-born in non-European country 52.3, in other European country 49.8, and in native-born 47.0, p = 0.003). Other factors associated with Neuro-QOL were seizure frequency last year (>= 2 seizures 52.4 compared to 1 sei-zure 50.9 and no seizures 44.3, p < 0.001), having had seizures in public (yes 50.9 compared to no 44.7, p = 0.035), HADS depression score >= 11 (57.4 compared to 47.8 for score <11 points, p < 0.001), HADS anx-iety score >= 11 (53.5 compared to 46.8 for score <11 points, p < 0.001), and lower PROMIS Mental Health score (42.9 for PROMIS < 40 compared to 54.4 for PROMIS > 60, p < 0.01). A stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that having had seizures the last year increased the average Neuro-QOL stigma score with 5.89 and appeared as the most determining factor for the Neuro-QOL stigma score among the vari-ables investigated. Conclusions: It is important that the concerns of foreign-born patients are acknowledged and that the focus of seizure control and the detection and treatment of comorbidities are prioritized in the manage-ment of epilepsy and perceived stigma.
