“…[7][8][9][10][11] Listserv communication has been used in different ways within the health care system, including caregiver support, peer support for individuals with various diseases, and as an information-sharing tool for health care professionals. [8][9][10]12,13 The latter have used listservs for networking, for sharing resources, and for accessing the expert opinions of colleagues. 11 Research has shown that listservs for health care professionals are valuable resources that aid in the preparation of educational presentations, that alter policies or documentation, and that help shape practices or systems.…”

“…Forums are a simple way to facilitate such peer-support online, but when they involve vulnerable people and sensitive subject matter they require careful cultivation. There is growing evidence that online peer-support without professional input has limited effectiveness (Kaplan et al, 2011), andKummervold et al (2002) obtained almost unanimous feedback from forum users that professionals should actively participate or offer a safety net of passive monitoring.…”

This paper introduces a new shared task for the text mining community. It aims to directly support the moderators of a youth mental health forum by asking participants to automatically triage posts into one of four severity labels: green, amber, red or crisis. The task attracted 60 submissions from 15 different teams, the best of whom achieve scores well above baselines. Their approaches and results provide valuable insights to enable moderators of peer support forums to react quickly to the most urgent, concerning content.

“…In conjunction with face-toface intervention, peer support via text messaging enhances selfmanagement in resource-poor, remote environments through increased sleep, increased positive action to illness management, and improved social support coping (Rotheram-Borus et al, 2012). Online support groups are associated with greater life satisfaction and are highly desired by people in distress, reporting positive and relevant interactions (Kaplan et al, 2011).…”

Peer support is an important component of client-centered care. However, there are numerous barriers faced by traditional peer support delivery that have limited its role, such as timeliness and location of service. Smartphone technology may provide a cost-effective mode of delivery that overcomes many such barriers, offering immediate and accessible service. Such a mobile application may play a role in alleviating experiences of distress. This paper reviews literature relevant to the use of mobile applications in peer support. Investigators conducted an integrative literature review utilizing online databases and triangulation. No literature evaluating the use of mobile application in peer support was discovered. As such, investigators included literature regarding the efficacy of technology-based peer support and the efficacy of health intervention through mobile applications. These studies highlighted both the health outcomes associated with peer support and the limitations specific to mobile application healthcare interventions. Of note, these limitations include the intergenerational gap in use of mobile applications, as well as ethical and privacy considerations. Findings suggest that a mobile application for peer support may provide effective intervention for distress, in turn alleviating stress on other healthcare system resources. Peer support delivered in this manner should complement and not replace the usual face-toface support or direct crisis intervention.
