Peers step in to help youth tackle psychosis and addiction

NCT ID NCT04517279

Summary

This study tested a new peer-led support program for young people experiencing their first episode of psychosis who also use substances. The goal was to see if trained peers could help participants reduce substance use and improve their social and daily functioning. The program was compared to usual care across multiple treatment teams in Texas to see if it was practical and acceptable before planning a larger trial.
