Consumer-clinician co-taught training about borderline personality disorder.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to provide further outcome data on a novel consumer-clinician co-taught borderline personality disorder training program.

Method: Participants (n=216) who attended consumer-clinician co-taught borderline personality disorder training had their ratings of the training compared to ratings of participants who attended the previous clinician-only borderline personality disorder training.

Results: Mean training ratings of the consumer-clinician co-taught borderline personality disorder trainings were 37 percentile points higher (77th vs 40th percentile) than the ratings of the previous clinician-only borderline personality disorder training, which already had evidence of effectiveness.

Conclusion: Data confirm preliminary findings that adding a consumer-presenter to training adds considerable value.
