Preliminary research has suggested that mental health clinicians who work with people with severe mental illness may experience associative stigma, and the Clinician Associative Stigma Scale (CASS; Yanos, Vayshenker, DeLuca, & O'Connor, 2017) was recently developed and tested in a cross-sectional, online sample to examine this construct. The purpose of the present study was to further investigate the CASS's psychometric properties, examining associations with measures of burnout, job satisfaction, and "turnover intention" with service providers in a setting directly working with people with severe mental illness (i.e., a community mental health center). Furthermore, we examined these associations over a 6-month period to assess predictive validity of the measure.
