22-item scale measuring knowledge about antidepressant medication across four domains: Mechanism of Action (8 items), Side Effects (7 items), Usage in Special Groups (3 items), and Miscellaneous (4 items). Items are rated on a 5-point agreement scale; scored as mean endorsement per subscale. Item 14 from the original paper is absent (not included in published instrument). Note: items represent statements of varying accuracy; higher scores reflect greater agreement with each statement, not necessarily greater knowledge accuracy.
