This book introduces peer interventions (primarily peer education, peer counselling and peer support) for the positive promotion of health and well-being as alternative or parallel methods to traditional clinical processes for reaching hard-to-access populations. It is strongly evidence-based, with chapters discussing reviews of the evidence, followed by important papers with key messages for implementation. Furthermore, it describes implementation and evaluation procedures, both in resource-rich environments and in developing countries.
Key Features:
- Bridges the traditional gap between professional clinical advice and the real world, reaching where professionals cannot go.
- Brings together information about those interventions that are well evidenced.
- Distils information about how to implement interventions for medical professionals and paraprofessionals and charitable agencies and researchers.
- Presents a fine balance between research and implementation, with evidence-driven guidance.
