This exploratory survey uses a national sample from 35 communities of 30 citiescovering all ranks of economics status in China, measured as the intensity and pattern of MHSN. The intensity ofMHSN reported by respondents is moderate; it is significantly related to race, household income, residence andeducation. Implications for policy makers and services professionals are discussed to better Chinese mentalhealth services.
