Developing a Substance Use Practice Approach for Peer Support Specialists in Early Psychosis Coordinated Specialty Care.
Article in Early intervention in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSubstance use is common and developmentally normative among transition-age youth and linked to poor outcomes among individuals with early psychosis. Peer Support Specialists (PSSs) are increasingly part of early psychosis Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC). CSC team substance use-specific practices are lacking despite the prevalence of CSC client substance use. This study describes the development of a substance use practice approach for CSC PSSs.
methodsThis study occurred within the 'Advancing Early Psychosis Intervention Network in Texas' (EPINET-TX), a university-affiliated Learning Health System with 15 community mental health providers and 29 CSC teams. A research team composed of a study coordinator with PSS experience, community mental health intervention researchers and a current CSC PSS leveraged EPINET-TX research findings, a literature review and expert consultation to design 'Peer Approaches to Substances for Early Psychosis Programs' (PAS-EPP). The team developed a conceptual model, practice principles and core practices and training materials.
resultsPAS-EPP has eight practice principles and four core practice domains. The PAS-EPP toolkit provides an adaptable, accessible harm reduction approach to substances for CSC PSSs intended to promote self-exploration of personal beliefs and biases, intentional sharing and team collaboration strategies and confidence building in capacity to explore and share information about substance use that is relevant to young people.
conclusionPAS-EPP is a promising practice approach for CSC PSSs. Future evaluation of PAS-EPP will provide insight into its feasibility and impact.
