What is the CAMI-12 scale?
This version of the CAMI was created for use in the evaluation of the Time to Change social marketing campaign and the Health Survey for England 2014:
Ilic N, Henderson H, Henderson C, Evans-Lacko S, Thornicroft G. Attitudes towards mental illness, in Craig R, Fuller E, Mindell J (eds). Health Survey for England 2014: Health, social care and lifestyles. London: Health and Social Care Information Centre.
Sampogna G, Bakolis I, Evans-Lacko S, Robinson E, Thornicroft G, Henderson C. The impact of social marketing campaigns on reducing mental health stigma: Results from the 2009-2014 Time to Change programme. European Psychiatry, 2016 Dec 16;40:116-122. doi: 10.1016/j.eurpsy.2016.08.008.
The original 40 item version was not created by the INDIGO group, nor was the 26 item version used to track public attitudes before during and after Time to Change. These longer versions are therefore not hosted by this site.
