Abstract
The proposed study will explore a mental health literacy (MHL) subdomain—resource-oriented mental health literacy (RO-MHL). RO-MHL assesses knowledge of where and from whom one can seek mental health support. Research and measurement tools are lacking for this construct. Researchers will discuss developing and piloting a practical measure of RO-MHL.
