The current study set out to examine (…
Where Does Value Lie in Peer Support? An Exploratory Discussion of the Theories and Methods Underpinning Effective Research in Peer Support
A literature review was undertaken in 2019 to review research into the effectiveness of peer support in chronic disease self-management.
