Method: We gathered the views of 000 participants (female = 000, 00.0%) aged between 00 and 00 (mean = 00.0, SD = 0.0), using an online survey, the majority of whom were studying on, or graduates of, psychology/social studies degrees. Information was gathered about the extent to which a range of factors influenced consideration of a career in mental health. Results: The majority (00.0%) of participants reported that they would definitely or probably consider undertaking a career in mental health, and over half (00.0%) would consider a career as a mental health nurse. The ability to help others and receiving appropriate training required for the role were important career choice factors. Being female, having a mental health condition, and greater knowledge of mental health, were associated with a significantly greater likelihood of considering a career in mental health, while having had experience of working with people with mental health difficulties was significantly negatively associated.
