IS LONDON PSYCHOSIS AWARE? A review of existing research found limited insight into Londoner’s level of awareness, knowledge or attitudes to psychosis - specifically about when and how to seek help. An omnibus survey was developed to measure public perceptions in London: • The understanding of psychosis (or relevant proxies, such as serious mental illness) • The kinds of behaviours which might prompt people to seek help • The actions which people might take. www.eip.london
