Abstract： Mental health literacy is a very important issue in the field of mental health research, but the concept of mental health literacy still has defects, and lack of comprehensive measurement tools of mental health literacy.Based on the reconstruction of the theoretical model of mental health literacy, this study developed a measurement tool based on this model, the Mental health literacy Questionnaire, which can evaluate all components of mental health literacy.The development of mental health literacy questionnaire has gone through four main stages: the theoretical construction of mental health literacy, the development of measurement tools, project testing and psychometrics index evaluation.The final questionnaire contains six subscales corresponding to six components of mental health literacy: knowledge and concept of mental illness;Knowledge and concepts of mental health;Attitudes and habits to deal with mental illness;Maintain and promote mental health attitudes and habits;Attitudes and habits in dealing with other people's mental illness;Attitudes and habits that maintain and promote the mental health of others.There are 60 items in the questionnaire.The results show that the mental health literacy scale has good internal consistency reliability, retest reliability, content validity, convergent validity and predictive validity.The mental health literacy scale can be used to assess individual and group levels of various components of mental health literacy.
