Need for This Review
Dramatic growth in peer delivered services in recent years;
Survey in 2006 showed about 7500 mental health mutual support groups and peer operated services – more than number of traditional programs;
The review went in search of evidence about how peer delivered services made a difference.

individuals with lived experience of psychiatric disability
Studies had to examine the services or their effect on consumers of services
Consumers had to be significantly involved in the design/delivery of services.

Process Before the Review Each study was scored for good
research principles and to see if the research questions were of general interest
12 Experts in the field reviewed the list of studies to ensure that no important study had been missed.

Research Conclusions 1
Several authors concluded that peer services had similar outcomes to those of professionals;
Several studies suggested that adding peer delivered services to regular services did not change outcomes but…
There was some evidence that peers provided special skills & experiences that may increase the chances that individuals get into and remain in services .

Research Conclusions 2 Some evidence that peer services provided in
a group can improve outcomes if members attend regularly and for long enough time;
Some of the peer group services such as Vet to Vet suggested that those who used the program regularly had better outcomes e.g. felt empowered and functioned better.

Research Conclusions 3 The kinds of peer services were quite different
from each other so it was very hard to make any conclusions, however…
There is some evidence that those who stay with the group program long enough do benefit: e.g. no substance abuse, feeling of empowerment, quality of life, social support, satisfaction, reduced criminal justice involvement, psychiatric stability and other outcomes.

Research Conclusions 4 The COSP study – across several models
suggests that the peer intervention was associated with many positive changes in well being but these studies are not completed.
Two studies of peer run residential services show modest evidence of effectiveness.

Challenges in the Existing Research In many studies the services provided
were not defined;
In some studies it was not possible to tell which services individuals used;
Many of the studies did not have strong research design;
![Page 17: 1 Highlights of a Systematic Review of Literature on Peer-Delivered Services 1989-2009 Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation June 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062906/5a4d1b3e7f8b9ab05999fe14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Challenges in the Existing Research (continued) The variety of peer delivered supports
make it difficult to have strong research design;
Very few studies were well controlled (scientific) on the effects of peer support. (Davidson et al)
