In this presentation, we will present a novel instrument developed using participatory-action-research techniques for the evaluation of the effectiveness of training and sensitization activities. Additionally we will present the results of training activities carried out “in first person” by mental health peers with mental health residents and practitioners. Our results show statistically significant changes in general attitudes and beliefs, especially in dimensions related to paternalistic attitudes.
