Abstract: Objective To understand the current status of mental health literacy among residents in a certain city and analyze the factors influencing their mental health literacy level, so as to effectively implement mental health service policies and carry out targeted mental health promotion activities. Methods Stratified random sampling was used to select community residents aged ≥18 years in four districts of the city as the survey subjects. Multiple psychological questionnaires were applied to assess the compliance status of mental health literacy and the prevalence of psychological disorders among community residents. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of residents mental health literacy levels. Results The mental health literacy level in this city is 17.99%, with the mental health knowledge dimension showing the lowest correct response rate among all items(22.03%). The mental health literacy pass rate was lower among residents with symptoms of depression or anxiety. Educational level and health status were identified as main influencing factors. Compared to residents with elementary school education or less, those with junior college degree or higher education level were more likely to attain mental health literacy(OR=2.58). Conversely, self-reported "relatively good"(OR=0.47)and "average or poor" health status(OR=0.39)had negative effects on mental health literacy rates compared to those reporting "good" health. Conclusion The level of mental health literacy in this city needs urgent improvement. In the implementation of mental health literacy promotion activities, it is necessary to focus on populations with lower educational attainment and residents in poor health, so as to enhance residents' mental health literacy and reduce the incidence of mental health problems.
