ABSTRACT:

Background

Objective

The aim of this study was to test whether an adapted mental health experience codesign intervention to improve recovery-orientation of services led to greater psychosocial recovery outcomes for service users.

Design

A stepped wedge cluster randomized-controlled trial was conducted.

Setting and participants

Four Mental Health Community Support Services providers, 287 people living with severe mental illnesses, 61 carers and 120 staff were recruited across Victoria, Australia.
