Abstract

The Mental Health Literacy Assessment Scale has demonstrated robust psychometric properties and comprehensive coverage of mental health literacy components, making it a valuable tool for both research and practical applications among Community health workers in Nepal. While these findings support its utility in this context, further validation is needed to establish its applicability across other low- and middle-income countries to assess its effectiveness in diverse cultural and geographic settings.
