Background: The United Nations proclaimed 2001 the "International Year of Volunteers". Little is knowm about factors influencing the attitude to volunteering in psychiatry. However knowledge about this factors is important as target groups to be addressed by an awareness and promotion campaign could be identified. Aims: To determine the influence of demographic, psycological, sociological factors on the attitude to volunteering in psychiatry. Metods: Multiple logistic regression analysis of the result of an opinion survey conducted on a representative population sample in Switzerland (n=1737). Results: Public attitude is mostly positive.It depends, however, on the form of volunteering. Two explanatory models for volunteering in psychiatry were found: first, the "antipathetic person" having social distance to and negative stereotypes towards the mentally ill persons. Age and genders are significant predictors. Conclusions: An awarness and promotion campaign to use the vast potential of people willing to volunteer psychiatry can be primarily focused on those with a basic interest in social issues. Volunteering must be limited in time and responsibility. Contacting people with a positive attitude by mass media is a promising way.
