Knowledge of and attitude towards depression among urban and rural residents in Beijing: a cross-sectional study
Rural residents of Beijing had lower levels of knowledge and recognition of depression and more negative attitudes towards individuals with depression than those from urban areas. The health authority needs to focus on the poor level of knowledge and increase mental health resources in rural areas as a priority site for future psychological popularisation efforts.
