    Public support for community mental health services is crucial, but attitudes towards the mentally ill remain unchanged. A new scale measures public acceptance, highlighting the need for further research into community-based support systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Psychology
    • Community Mental Health

    Background:

    • Community support systems require significant public involvement.
    • Evidence of changed public attitudes towards the mentally ill is scarce.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a scale measuring public support for the chronically mentally ill.
    • To assess public acceptance of community-based mental health services.

    Main Methods:

    • A scale was developed to measure public support for the chronically mentally ill.
    • 574 adults in Leon County, Florida, were surveyed.
    • Scale validity was established by comparing general population responses with those from a neighborhood opposing community services.

    Main Results:

    • A scale was successfully developed and validated to measure public support for the chronically mentally ill.
