Monitoring the dissemination of peer support in the VA Healthcare System
Abstract
This study illustrates a monitoring system for peer support programs, focusing on Vet-to-Vet, a program for veterans with chronic psychiatric disorders. The sample consisted of 1,847 anonymous surveys from 38 veteran peer support programs. Program satisfaction and recovery orientation were positively associated with duration and frequency of participation in peer support. Program satisfaction was also associated with the Vet-to-Vet model and location at a VA medical center (vs. other model & location types). Payment for peer facilitators was positively associated with recovery orientation, spirituality, and engagement in meaningful activity. Additional research using experimental design methods is needed to determine the impact of peer support on mental health outcomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
