Measurement and Correlates of Peer Social Support During Brief Psychiatric Treatment: The Fellow Travelers in Treatment Scale
Results of this preliminary study illustrate the potential value of assessing patients' social experiences with peers during acute treatment, and demonstrate that peer social interactions are a significant correlate of treatment outcome. Future research is needed to further establish the validity of this novel measure.
