Area of Science:

  • Digital mental health
  • Bipolar disorder self-management
  • Peer support interventions

Background:

  • Bipolar disorder requires ongoing self-management.
  • Online programs offer scalable solutions for mental health support.
  • Engagement and retention are key challenges in digital health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if online peer coaching increases participation in a bipolar disorder self-management program.
  • To evaluate the impact of peer support on user engagement and retention.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study enrolled 118 participants with bipolar disorder.
  • Participants were randomized to either a standard online program or one with added online peer coaching.
  • Engagement was tracked through program return and continued usage rates.

Main Results:

  • Online peer coaching significantly increased program return rates post-registration (71% vs. 44%, p=.005).
  • Participants receiving peer coaching were more likely to continue using the program after three weeks (38% vs. 9%, p<.001).
  • This positive effect was observed across all program components.

Conclusions:

  • Online peer coaching substantially enhances engagement and retention in digital self-management programs for bipolar disorder.
  • Peer support is a valuable addition to online mental health interventions.
  • Further research is necessary to confirm the impact on clinical and recovery outcomes.
