Abstract：Objective To investigate the mental health literacy levels among residents in Ningbo City, so as to provide the evidence for implementing the mental health service policy and targeted mental health education. Methods Permanent residents at ages of 12 years and older were recruited in Ningbo City using the multi-stage stratified random sampling method from August to December, 2020. Subjects' mental health literacy levels were evaluated using the national mental health literacy survey of China, and the gender-, age-, region- and educational level-specific levels of mental health literacy were investigated. Results A total of 6 654 questionnaires were allocated, and 6 392 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.06%. The respondents included 2 967 men ( 46.42% ) and 3 425 women ( 53.58% ). The respondents were predominantly at ages of 18 to 44 years ( 2 705 residents, 40.19%) , lived in urban areas ( 3 823 residents, 59.81% ), and had an educational level of junior high school and below ( 3 195 residents, 49.98% ). The level of mental health literacy was 19.06%, and the score of mental health knowledge was ( 64.06±18.39 ) points. In the dimension of mental health skills, the scores of interpersonal support, cognitive reappraisal and transferred attention were ( 2.58±0.51 ), ( 2.45±0.57 ) and ( 2.82±0.49 ) points, and the score of mental health awareness was ( 3.63±0.47 ) points. A higher level of mental health literacy was seen in women than in men ( 20.64% vs. 17.22%, P<0.05 ) and in urban residents than in rural residents (20.95% vs. 16.23%, P<0.05 ). In addition, there were age- and educational level-specific levels of mental health literacy among residents ( P<0.05 ), and a higher level was seen in residents at ages of 18 to 45 years ( 28.98% ) and with a bachelor degree (40.89% ). Conclusions A high level of mental health literacy is found in residents in Ningbo City. Mental health promotion campaigns are recommended among men, rural elderly residents with a low educational level.
