Welcome to the WHO QualityRights e-training survey on mental health. As you know, the e-training aims to improve the understanding of mental health, tackle stigma and discrimination and improve the way in which we provide services and supports to people with mental health conditions or psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities.
Note on language: Some people may not be familiar with the term "psychosocial disability" used in this questionnaire. This term is being used to refer to people who self-identify in different ways including "people who have received a psychiatric diagnosis", "people with mental health conditions", "people with mental health disorders" or "mental illness", "service users", "psychiatric survivors" or "consumers".
Please note that this completed questionnaire will remain anonymous and will be kept confidential.
PARTICIPANTS INFORMATION SHEET AND INFORMED CONSENTStudy. WHO QualityRights e-training evaluation.
Dear Participant,
We would like to invite you to participate in an initiative that examines the impact of a training developed by the World Health Organization to promote the rights of persons with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities.

The aims of this initiative and other important information are explained below to help you decide whether or not to participate.
Nature of research and aims.People with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities are often discriminated and experience violations of their human rights. To address this situation, the World Health Organization has developed the WHO QualityRights e-training, which aims to improve knowledge about the rights of people with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities and provide participants with the skills necessary to promote these rights in their professional and personal lives. This study was designed to collect information about the impact of the WHO QualityRights e-training. We would like to ask you as to be part of this data collection to help us understand the impact of the WHO QualityRights e-training.
Participants involvement.• Duration/what is involved.The WHO QualityRights e-training can be completed in around 24 hours. You can complete the training within your own schedule (you can interrupt the training when you want and start it again at a later time). You will also be asked to complete a short online questionnaire (that can be completed in around 8 minutes) before starting the training and after completing the training. If you agree, we may contact you at a later time to ask you to complete a follow-up questionnaire.
