All the lines were highly appreciated (mean score >7). Within the transversal lines, the highest score was for the Humanization line (8.81±1.43) and the lowest for the Digitalization line (7.18±1.92). In the Action Lines, the highest score was for Suicide (9.03±11.5) and the lowest for Elder people (8.04±1.94).
Prevention line had higher scores by Education, Justice, Associations and Healthcare professionals and the lowest was for users (F: 2.754; p=0.012). In the Digitalization line the higher scores were in the health professionals and scientific societies and the lowest in the users (F:4.665; p<0.001).

Participants included 36 stakeholders including mental health services, administration, social services, associations, patients and families. They stablished 32 objectives distributed in 7 strategic lines: 1. “People First” (Rights, Autonomy and Information); 2. “From People to Services” (Participation of users in mental heal services); 3. “Person-Centered-Assistance” 4. “Processes sensible to change” (reduction of coercion); 5. “Human ambient” (Improvement of units, psychosocial interventions). 6. Innovation, training and climate (not evaluated here). 7. “People without marks” (battle against stigma).
Priorities in the lines were stablished by representatives from mental health and other healthcare professionals, social and educational stakeholders, scientific societies, patients and families. After agreeing to participate in the process, they had to answer an online survey. For each line, they have to score it from 0 to 10.

Differences were found between groups. Scores in Rights and Autonomy (F:3.474; p<0.001) were highest in the Associations (9.32 +1.01) and lowest in the Justice group (7.68 + 1.67). In the information line the highest score (F:2.431; p=0,014) was in the Education Services (9.03 +0,94) compared to Scientific Societies (7,65 + 2,13).
