  For your RQ/hypothesis, make sure it is in the format of relationships or differences.  The scale you select should be one that already exists (not created) so it has known norms, reliability and validity.  There are many to select from that might capture what you mean by attitudes.  Here are a few:

Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorders Scale 

ROSENBERG SELF-ESTEEM SCALE 

Attitudes Towards Mental Health Problems Scale
