Evaluating Feasibility, Acceptability, Usability, and an Initial Estimate of Effect of a Novel Training Platform on Peer Recovery Supporter Skill, Adherence, and Knowledge Gain-Phase I

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of the Thrive Digital Peer Platform (TDPP), an online training system for Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS). Twelve participants were enrolled to complete the full TDPP asynchronous curriculum, including self-paced modules, peer-led storytelling, and applied practice activities. The study aimed to assess participant engagement, satisfaction, and perceived relevance of the training to their work as peer supporters. This work represents the Phase I portion of a Fast Track SBIR funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
