Methods: A sample of the 641 non-psychiatric clinicians from 2 tertiary general hospitals, 2 second-class general hospitals, and 1 community hospital were used for item analysis and internal consistency test; 38 cases were selected for the re-test interval of 2 weeks to test the test-retest reliability. And totally 99 psychiatrists finished the survey as controls. The awareness rates between the non-psychiatric and psychliatric clinicians were compared. Results: The questionnaire included 46 items and consis-ted of 6 subscales, involving anxiety, schizophrenia, depression, dyssomnia and psychological counseling, or-ganic brain disorder, and recognition for mental health service situation in general hospital The results of confirma-tory factor analysis showed that the ratio of chi-square and degree of freedom was below 3. The fitting indexes except GFI and AGFI were more than 0.90. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from 0.73 to 0.89, and test-retest Pearson correlation coefficient of reliabifity ranged from 0.59 to 0.78. Awareness rate was 47.6% in general hospital and 90.9% in psychiatric hospitals.
