Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire for Young Adults (MHLq-YA) Among Greek University Students

Background/objectives

The rising yet underdiagnosed prevalence of mental disorders among young adults, due to stigma, limited knowledge, and reduced help-seeking, underscores the need for culturally validated tools to measure and enhance mental health literacy. This cross-sectional study aimed to validate the 29-item Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire for Young Adults (MHLq-YA) within the Greek context.
