Reacting to AIDS-Related Suicide: Does Time since Diagnosis Matter?
Range, Lillian M.; Alliston, Jerry R.
Death Studies, v19 n3 p277-82 May-Jun 1995
Undergraduates (n=296) read a fictional vignette concerning a person diagnosed with either terminal cancer or AIDS, and for varying lengths of time. Student reactions indicated that a person with AIDS is associated with greater stigma than a person with another fatal disease, regardless of how long ago the diagnosis was made. (JPS)
