Peers in the Behavioral Health Workforce: Costs and Contributions

The use of peer providers on behavioral health service teams is a potential solution for reducing costs and improving patient outcomes.

This article discusses a study that conducted a literature review to better understand the role of peer providers on behavioral health teams and utilized a quasi-experimental design to compare the costs and patient outcomes of service teams that utilize peer providers and those that do not.
