Objective: This Australian study was designed to assess the effectiveness of a consumer-led recovery training program.
Methods: A non-equivalent control group study design was used to assess changes in recovery knowledge and attitudes pre-training, immediately post-training, and at 6 months post-training.
Results: Relative to the comparison group, those receiving training demonstrated significant gains in knowledge at follow-up.
Conclusions: A consumer-led training program was able to improve provider knowledge of recovery based practice. While the RKI was developed in the USA, it proved to be a useful measure of change in an Australian sample.
