DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL PEER RECOVERY SUPPORTER TRAINING PLATFORM

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Training-as-Usual (TAU): Participants receive the standard Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) training currently offered by CCAR. This training follows existing certification requirements and does not include any digital modules or facilitated teleconferencing components.

TDPP-A (Asynchronous Platform): Participants engage with the Thrive Digital Peer Platform (TDPP), a fully asynchronous, self-paced online training program. The content includes 11 interactive modules structured using the Connect → Grow → Apply (CGA) learning framework, featuring peer stories, behavioral exercises, and scenario-based assessments.

TDPP-Z (Asynchronous + Zoom): Participants use the same asynchronous TDPP platform as the TDPP-A group, with the addition of three live, facilitator-led Zoom sessions. These synchronous group sessions provide opportunities for applied learning, discussion, and skill reinforcement.

Study summary

The focus of this study is to assess the effect on Peer Recovery Support Service providers of the fully asynchronous training platform (TDPP) and the TDPP with live zoom sessions on skill and adherence compared with training-as-usual.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• YACS II Skill Adherence Score — Post-intervention (within 2 weeks of training completion)
  Assessed using the adapted Yale Adherence and Competence Scale II (YACS II), which measures skill adherence during simulated peer recovery support interactions. Each participant is scored by blinded, trained raters using a standardized coding protocol.
