What is the RIBS scale?

RIBS (Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale) has been designed to assess and track mental health related behavioural discrimination among the general public. Several studies have demonstrated the significance and high prevalence of discrimination experienced by service users, emphasising the importance of assessing and documenting behavioural trends.
