Abstract
This grass-roots level mental health
awareness programme considerably increased use of
community-based mental health services in a part of
Nigeria where knowledge about treatability of mental
illness was limited. The benefits of the programme
were sustained for a significant period after the initial
awareness programme. In order for attitude changes
to be reinforced, similar awareness programmes must
be repeated at regular intervals
