Abstract

This project will describe the validation of the Mental Health Literacy Test, which aims to assess knowledge of youth mental health problems. 201 caregivers completed the MHLT with stigma and help-seeking measures. Psychometric performance of the MHLT, as well as the relationship between knowledge, stigma, and help-seeking will be discussed.
