“…Regarding peer workers serving as providers of pre-determined services, 19 of 21 studies focused on the outcomes. These studies typically consisted of high-quality clinical trials or randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing peer workers delivering pre-determined services with non-peer workers (Corrigan et al, 2017 ; Crisanti et al, 2019 ; Kidd et al, 2021 ; O’Connell et al, 2018 ; Ranzenhofer et al, 2020 ; Rogers et al, 2016 ; Shaw et al, 2021 ; Simpson et al, 2014 ; Tracy et al, 2011 ) or comparing peer workers as co-facilitators of a pre-determined service with services as usual (Agrawal et al, 2016 ; Cheng & Yen, 2021 ). Some studies also applied qualitative-oriented methods, such as interviews (Beehler et al, 2014 ; Muralidharan et al, 2020 ; Wusinich et al, 2020 ) and a case study (Harris et al, 2020 ).…”

“…While these clinical trials and RCT studies have been criticized for their lack of attention to core peer work principles when measuring outcomes (King & Simmons, 2018 ), some of them explicitly reported that the pre-defined activities reflected a peer support perspective (Johnson et al, 2021 ; McCarthy et al, 2019 ; Shaw et al, 2021 ; Simpson et al, 2014 ; Thomas & Salzer, 2018 ; Wusinisch et al, 2020 ). Some also included measurements of fidelity to peer support principles before conducting RCTs (Green et al, 2013 ; Kidd et al, 2021 ).…”

People with lived experience of mental health challenges are extensively employed as peer workers within mental health and substance use services worldwide. Research shows that peer workers benefit individuals using such services and can have essential roles in developing recovery-oriented services. However, understanding how peer workers’ contributions, by their role, functions, and input can be better used remains a critical challenge. Research on public sector innovation has focused on relevant actors collaborating to tackle complex demands. Co-production and co-creation are concepts used to describe this collaboration. Co-production refers to the collaboration between providers and users at the point of service delivery, whereas co-creation refers to collaboration starting in the early service cycle phases (e.g., in commissioning or design), including solution implementation. We overviewed research literature describing peer workers’ involvement in mental health and substance use services. The research question is as follows: How are peer workers involved in co-production and co-creation in mental health and substance use services, and what are the described outcomes? A literature search was performed in 10 different databases, and 13,178 articles were screened, of which 172 research articles describing peer workers’ roles or activities were included. The findings show that peer workers are involved in co-production and function as providers of pre-determined services or, most often, as providers of peer support. However, they are rarely engaged as partners in co-creation. We conclude that the identified peer worker roles have different potential to generate input and affect service delivery and development.

“…However, as one interviewee stated peer interactions should not act to prevent or delay interaction with the community, rather it should act to enable the journey. There is a growing body of research regarding peer led service provision in both the veteran and civilian population (Cheney et al, 2016 ; Shaw et al, 2021 ; Anderson et al, 2022 ; Gettings et al, 2022 ). Although such peer interventions hold great value there is a lack of research into their effectiveness (Ahern et al, 2015 ; Derefinko et al, 2018 ).…”

The experiences of military personnel moving into civilian life can be varied for the individual, families and communities. This paper aims to shed light on the various meanings of the multiple and “nested” transitions of military personnel to civilian life in the context of attending a mental health service in the UK. This was achieved through secondary analysis of semi-structured interviews with veterans who were engaging with a mental health service in the UK and a further interview with the mental health service lead. A thematic analysis was employed based on a descriptive phenomenological approach. Results indicate that an appropriate support infrastructure needs to be put in place for veterans prior to, during and after the transition to civilian life. The support appropriateness includes themes specific to connectedness to others, support service accessibility, mental health professionals' military culture awareness and mental health stigma. Although the findings suggest that community services need an awareness of veterans' specific needs, many of the themes are similar to those of the general population. Therefore, the need for an integrated healthcare system is essential in the transition of military service personnel to civilian life. Drawing on international evidence as well as the current findings, implications for policy and practice are highlighted throughout.
