MENTAL HEALTH

Attitudes to Mental Illness 2008 Research Report (8th May 2008)
Since March 1993, the Department of Health has placed a set of questions on TNS’s Face-to-Face Consumer Omnibus about public attitudes towards mental illness. From 1993 to 1997 the questions were asked on an annual basis and then every third year up until 2003. Since 2007 the survey has again been carried out annually. The surveys serve as a benchmark, enabling measurement of whether attitudes are improving or worsening over time.
