L’objectif

The current study seeks to address gaps in knowledge regarding emergency department-based peer support services in rural areas by comparing implementation of rural and urban programs that participated in Indiana’s Recovery Coach and Peer Support Initiative (RCPSI).

Constatations/points à retenir
