Abstract
- Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS) have the potential to be an economically valuable intervention. To investigate this potential, we conducted a scoping review to summarize existing research on the economic impact of PRSS. We searched relevant electronic databases for peer-reviewed articles and grey literature between January 2000 and February 2023 that examined an economic outcome related to PRSS. Following a comprehensive search, screening, and full-text evaluation, eight articles were selected for review. The majority of the studies we identified focused on healthcare cost-avoidance. Some studies supported PRSS as a method of avoiding costly medical services, while others had mixed results. Our scoping review revealed limited studies addressing cost savings associated with PRSS and further research on the economic impact of PRSS is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
