Article abstract: <br>
Recovery as a phenomenon has gained influence in the local community services within mental health and substance use. An essential element to enhance recovery is peer support. This article provides an overview of the implementation of a peer-led intervention –“Recovery is up to you” – developed in the Netherlands into a Norwegian context, as well as the characteristics and completion rate of the participants. <br>
<br>
Self-reported, validated measures were used to provide information about the participants and their evaluation of their situation in this new context. These measures have been used before to assess this intervention in the Netherlands. Five measures were conducted, assessing different elements important in a recovery process, such as hope, loneliness/support and empowerment. <br>
<br>
This study aims to provide a description of the implementation process and the participants involved to generate knowledge about the implementation process and the use of peer support.
For the analysis, we conducted a paired t-test for baseline and follow-up 1 and baseline and follow-up 2 for each of the measures, along with descriptive analysis. <br>

The results provide a description of the participants in this study and their evaluation of their experience with the course. The discussion provides some comparisons with a Dutch RCTstudy on the effects of the intervention, to enhance its local relevance. In addition, we discuss the strengths and limitations of the study, such as relevance and biased selection. To conclude, we summarise by indicating the interventions’ relevance for future practice and the need for further research.Social SciencesRecoveryMental healthSubstance useNorwegianKvia, A.; Brønnick, K.; Sagvaag, H. & Selbekk, A.
