Abstract
The present study compares the familiarity with and attitudes about psychiatric advance directives among multiple community stakeholders in two Ohio communities. One community was involved in a pilot psychiatric advance directive education project, and one was not. A total of 272 legal and law enforcement personnel, clergy, healthcare professionals, mental health professionals, consumers, and family members completed a newly developed measure of opinions about psychiatric advance directives. Results indicate significant differences in opinions among members of the various stakeholder groups, and implications for advance directive education are discussed.
