| One RCT50 with high risk of bias (unclear direction) reported on participants’ HRQoL. It compared the effectiveness of HOP program to treatment as usual among adolescent psychiatric patients, who were mostly were female (69.3%), born in Germany (94.8%) and were around 22 months since the first psychiatric diagnosis. The outcome was assessed by KIDSCREEN 1056, a 10-item questionnaire in which the total score ranges from 10 to 50 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.56,57 At post-intervention, results suggested that there may be little to no difference in the effect of peer support on HRQoL compared to treatment as usual. (Mean between-group difference for change from baseline =0.82 [95% CI –1.34 to 2.98]). At the 6-week follow-up assessment, the results suggested that HOP may be favoured compared to treatment as usual in improving HRQoL. The mean between-group difference for change from baseline to 6 week follow-up was 3.54 (95% CI, 1.14 to 5.93). |
Very low
due to serious concerns for risk of bias, concerns for inconsistency, serious concerns for indirectness and imprecision.a
| There may be little to no difference in the effect of HOP vs. TAU on HRQoL post-intervention, but the evidence is very uncertain. HOP may be favoured vs. TAU with respects to attitudes to disclosure at longest follow-up but the evidence is very uncertain. |
