Public engagement events are an important early strategy in developing a meaningful research agenda, which is more impactful and beneficial to the population. Evidence indicates the potential of such activities to promote mental health literacy. However, this has not yet been explored in Indonesia. This paper describes a mental health public engagement festival carried out in Indonesia in November 2018 and uses evaluation data to consider the acceptability and use of such activities in Indonesia in the future. Evaluation data was collected from 324 of the 737 people who attended a six-day mental health festival comprising 18 events including public lectures, film screenings, arts activities, exercise classes and panel discussions. Attendees were asked to evaluate the festival in terms of its quality, benefits and areas for improvement. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the evaluation data. 87 service users, carers, academics and professionals also engaged in a research prioritisation exercise to collaboratively determine mental health research priorities for Indonesia. Participants evaluated the festival extremely positively with a significant majority (92%) rating the quality of the festival as good or excellent. Attendees reported an increase in their understanding of mental health issues and identified intended behaviour change including an increased propensity for future engagement with mental health research. Key strengths of the festival included the central role of patients, carers and the local community in the design and delivery of the festival which promoted emotional engagement and development of shared understanding and the use of international experts which in attendees’ opinion further enhanced the credibility of festival activities. This manuscript indicates that a co-produced mental health public engagement festival is a potentially acceptable way to increase awareness of mental health in Indonesian populations. Future festivals should be larger in scope and target men, older people and the general public to maximise benefit and incorporate rigorous evaluation of effectiveness.

评估共同制作和共同举办的心理健康公众参与节的可接受性：心理健康问题，印度尼西亚雅加达

公众参与活动是制定有意义的研究议程的重要早期策略，这对公众更具影响力和有益性。证据表明此类活动具有促进心理健康素养的潜力。然而，这尚未在印度尼西亚进行探索。本文描述了 2018 年 11 月在印度尼西亚举办的心理健康公众参与节，并使用评估数据来考虑未来此类活动在印度尼西亚的可接受性和使用情况。评估数据是从参加为期六天的心理健康节的 737 人中的 324 人收集的，该节包括公开讲座、电影放映、艺术活动、锻炼班和小组讨论等 18 项活动。与会者被要求从质量、效益和需要改进的方面评估节日。描述性统计用于分析评估数据。87 名服务用户、护理人员、学者和专业人士还参与了一项研究优先排序活动，以共同确定印度尼西亚的心理健康研究优先事项。参与者对音乐节的评价非常积极，绝大多数 (92%) 的参与者将音乐节的质量评为良好或优秀。与会者报告说，他们对心理健康问题的理解有所增加，并确定了预期的行为改变，包括未来参与心理健康研究的倾向增加。该节日的主要优势包括患者的核心作用，照顾者和当地社区参与了节日的设计和交付，促进了情感参与和共同理解的发展以及国际专家的使用，与会者认为这进一步提高了节日活动的可信度。这份手稿表明，共同制作的心理健康公众参与节是提高印度尼西亚民众心理健康意识的一种潜在可接受的方式。未来的节日应该扩大范围，并针对男性、老年人和公众，以最大限度地提高利益并纳入严格的有效性评估。这份手稿表明，共同制作的心理健康公众参与节是提高印度尼西亚民众心理健康意识的一种潜在可接受的方式。未来的节日应该扩大范围，并针对男性、老年人和公众，以最大限度地提高利益并纳入严格的有效性评估。这份手稿表明，共同制作的心理健康公众参与节是提高印度尼西亚民众心理健康意识的一种潜在可接受的方式。未来的节日应该扩大范围，并针对男性、老年人和公众，以最大限度地提高利益并纳入严格的有效性评估。
