同行（即有精神疾病和/或成瘾经历的人）被大量雇用，为患有严重精神疾病的人提供支持，但人们对同行提供者的看法知之甚少。这项研究的目的是衡量对作为同行提供者的行为者的反应。一半的研究参与者与扮演精神病医生的演员互动，一半与扮演同行提供者的演员互动。评价，如喜欢，感觉舒适，以及花在谈话上的时间进行了测量。参与者没有报告在任何条件下更喜欢演员，也没有更多地交谈或更少的沉默与演员在任何条件下。参与者也同样愿意看到演员在未来再次扮演同伴提供者，并将他们推荐给家庭成员。在接受过心理健康服务的参与者中，有一种趋势是，将同行提供者描绘成更友好和有效的行为者。这些积极的初步看法表明，对精神疾病患者的污名并没有玷污对同伴提供者的初步看法。
Peers (i.e. people with lived experience of mental illness and/or addictions) are being hired in large numbers to offer support for people with serious mental illnesses, but little is known about how peer providers are viewed. The goal of this study was to measure reactions towards actors posed as peer providers. Half of study participants interacted with an actor portraying a psychiatrist and half interacted with an actor portraying a peer provider. Ratings such as liking, feeling comfortable, as well as time spent talking were measured. Participants did not report preferring actors in either condition and did not talk more or have less silence with actors in either condition. Participants also were equally willing to see actors portraying peer providers again in the future and recommend them to a family member. Among participants who had received mental health services, there was a trend towards viewing actors portraying peer providers as more friendly and effective. These positive initial perceptions suggest that stigma towards people with mental illness does not taint the initial perception of peer providers.
