Abstract

Peer support provides benefits across varied health concerns. As opposed to simple offer of support, however, predictors of and importance of levels of participation are not well understood. Analyses of 7 peer support interventions, with 1,612 participants address these questions, first identifying characteristics that predict participation, and then examining whether, controlling for those characteristics, participation itself predicts benefit, using reduced HbA1c as an indicator of benefit.
