Increasingly, consumers and carers are involving themselves in many aspects and levels of mental health services. However, one area in which active involvement has been less prominent is research. This paper describes an educational initiative that sought to increase consumers' and carers' understanding of the way research is conducted and its role in evidence-based practice. Information regarding participants' attitudes towards research, knowledge about research practice and participation was also examined. The findings provide evidence that workshop attendance increases knowledge and encourages participation in future research projects, particularly when participants have confidence in the researcher.
