An exploration of Michigan certified peer support specialists’ perceptions on tobacco use and additional future supports
Most peers view existing supports as somewhat effective, with peer-to-peer support rated highest. Rural-residing peers favored holistic and virtual supports and urban-residing peers emphasized harm reduction and healthcare coverage, suggesting future cessation efforts within the peer workforce should address rural-specific barriers and leverage community-centered, flexible approaches.
