This study evaluated the effects of Muva, and assessed if mental health worker's (MHW) characteristics were associated with clients' change in social functioning. Muva, an intervention package primarily created to increase PA of people with SMI, places a special focus on MHWs as they might play a key role in overcoming barriers.
