Assessing a digital peer support self-management intervention for adults with serious mental illness: feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness.
Article in Journal of mental health (Abingdon, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of digital peer support integrated medical and psychiatric self-management intervention ("PeerTECH") for adults with a serious mental illness.
methodsTwenty-one adults with a chart diagnosis of a serious mental illness (i.e., schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or treatment-refractory major depressive disorder) and at least one medical comorbidity (i.e., cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and/or high cholesterol) aged 18 years and older received the PeerTECH intervention in the community. Nine peer support specialists were trained to deliver PeerTECH. Data were collected at baseline and 12-weeks.
resultsThis pilot study demonstrated that a 12-week, digital peer support integrated medical and psychiatric self-management intervention for adults with serious mental illness was feasible and acceptable among peer support specialists and patients and was associated with statistically significant improvements in self-efficacy to manage chronic disease and personal empowerment. In addition, pre/post non-statistically significant improvements were observed in psychiatric self-management, medical self-management skills, and feelings of loneliness.
conclusionsThis single-arm pre/post pilot study demonstrated preliminary evidence peer support specialists could offer a fidelity-adherent digital peer support self-management intervention to adults with serious mental illness. These findings build on the evidence that a digital peer support self-management intervention for adults with serious mental illness designed to improve medical and psychiatric self-management is feasible, acceptable, and shows promising evidence of improvements in clinical outcomes. The use of technology among peer support specialists may be a promising tool to facilitate the delivery of peer support
