Abstract
Commentary on: Chambers M, Guise V, Välimäki M, et al. Nurses' attitudes to mental illness: a comparison of a sample of nurses from five European countries. Int J Nurs Stud 2010;47:350–62.[OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] Examining the attitudes of nurses is a well-trod route for nurse researchers: such papers are common in our journals, describing nurses' perspectives on topics from complementary medicine to assisted suicide. These studies may involve focus groups, interviews or non-validated question sets; alternatively they may be scale development studies or may use validated scales to examine attitudes in a particular area. The paper by Chambers and colleagues is an example of the latter: it uses the Community Attitudes to Mental Illness questionnaire (developed in Canada in the late 1970s in response to deinstitutionalisation) to identify the attitudes of nurses working in mental health inpatient and community settings in five European countries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
