Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present study involves a psychometric evaluation of the Substance Abuse Self-Stigma Scale (SASSS), a 40-item dimensional measure of internalized or self-stigma developed by Jason Luoma and collaborators, among Latinos with substance use disorders (SUDs). The present study’s specific aim is to assess the psychometric properties (factor structure and reliability) of the translated and culturally adapted SASSS instrument in a cross-sectional study of individuals (n = 412) with SUDs with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from correctional facilities and community treatment programs. A confirmatory factor analysis evidenced the four-factor structure of SASSS. Results showed significant correlationswith HIV felt stigma among those participants with co-occurring SUD and HIV (n = 119), internalized shame, stigma-related interpersonal rejection due to substance abuse, symptoms of depression, substance use within the last 30 days, psychological flexibility, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, supporting good convergent validity. The measure showed a strong factor structure and adequate reliability estimates supporting its applicability to Latinos with SUDs from community and criminal justice settings. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for studies of stigma impact and intervention.
