Abstract

Research has demonstrated clearly the positive effect social support can have on health. Peer-provided social support, in the forms of both one-on-one peer counseling and peer support groups, is encouraged by health care providers as an effective and inexpensive way to enhance mental health in at-risk client populations. This article examines data from two studies that included information about the use of social support by abused women during their stay in a transition house. Analysis revealed a potential for problems when vulnerable clients offer support to other vulnerable clients. The ability to offer support was viewed by the "givers" to be evidence of their own recovery. Women needed to give this support, and, therefore, it was often difficult to know whose needs were being met. The complexities of these relationships are discussed. An understanding of the issues involved will ensure that maximum benefit with minimum risk can be derived by participants in supportive exchanges between peers.

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.
