Participant flow

We approached various organisations relevant to community mental health, including groups representing service users, caregivers, professionals, government officials, and academic communities, to explain our study's objectives and content. These organisations were selected based on their active involvement in supporting stakeholders and their relevance to community mental health, ensuring diverse viewpoints in our participant pool. After obtaining cooperation from key individuals within these organisations, they assisted in disseminating study information via organisational mailing lists and email newsletters. Furthermore, individuals who had participated in previous related studies were contacted, along with authors of pertinent original articles focusing on community psychiatry and mental health services in Japan. Recruitment took place between July 12 and August 10, 2021. During the recruitment process, we provided a thorough explanation of the study details and burden associated with participation before requesting voluntary participation. Participants were informed upon recruitment that they would receive 500 yen for each round of participation.
