Objective
Our qualitative study explored the perceptions of people with lived experience of problematic alcohol and other drugs use and their experiences of peer worker roles in the hospital setting.
Findings/Key points
We identified four themes related to how lived experience expertise within a peer worker role strengthened therapeutic alliances: (i) by building trust and credibility; (i) by building hope; (iii) the ability to approach informally; and (iv) in continuing to be accessible long term.
