Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation in a CCBHC

Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial to Evaluate a Scalable, Peer-Delivered Intervention for Depression Among People With Substance Use Disorder in a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic

About This Trial

Low-income individuals have limited access to evidence-based interventions for mental health. Peer recovery specialists, individuals in recovery from mental health and/or substance use problems, have the potential to increase access to evidence-based interventions for individuals from low-resource communities, particularly when trained and supervised in models that are acceptable and feasible in these communities. This study will examine the effectiveness and implementation potential of a peer-delivered evidence-based intervention (Behavioral Activation) among individuals receiving services from a community-based treatment setting providing integrated physical and behavioral healthcare.

Peer Activate includes 6 weekly sessions with up to 6 additional booster sessions.

Peer-delivered non-specific services

Peers will deliver non-specific peer services, including linkage to care, general support, and facilitated referrals to external providers as needed.
