First seen Mar 24, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested whether a support group led by trained peers (people who also have schizophrenia) can help patients learn more about their illness and improve their symptoms and daily functioning. Over 300 adults with schizophrenia took part and were followed for two years. The goal was to see if this peer-led approach works better than standard care or groups led by professionals.
