The first publication in a new Demystifying Research series from Imroc.  Starting with a topic that we know from feedback that many people involved with Imroc are interested in, which is research related to peer support.  Our starting point is a deceptively simple question with a less than simple answer. “Does peer support work?”In unpicking this question we introduce and explain various research terms in a way which is understandable and accessible. All technical research terms are underlined and link to our RESEARCH JARGON BUSTER which will grow as we explore more questions and methods.
