Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate community interest and how it connects to mental health care among eastern Ethiopian citizens.
Methods: A cross-sectional study that was community-based was conducted between July 2020 and February 2021. The Community Attitude to Mental Illness inventory (CAMI) was utilised to ascertain the level of interest among the participants. The data was imported into Epi Data 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 20. The linearity assumptions were fit when they were confirmed. A simple and multivariate linear regression model was used to confirm the link between the dependent and independent variables. The significance of the predictors' relationship to the outcome variable was determined using the β coefficient, a p value of less than 0.05 and the matching 95% confidence interval.
