Résumé

Research across the cancer care continuum indicates peer support can improve patient outcomes, yet little is known about how cancer peer support programs are implemented in practice. This study aimed to describe cancer peer support programs in "real world" (i.e., non-research) settings. A web search identified 100 programs in a wide variety of settings and locations; 48 published contact information on their website and were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Twenty-nine program leaders participated. From the interviews, we observed eight primary themes, which centered on challenges and responses regarding training and content of peer support services as well as program organization and support. Obstacles include inconsistent funding, reliance on volunteers, and physician concerns about peer supporters' advice to patients, while increasing diversity, reach, and accessibility are future priorities. Peer support should be recognized and funded as a routine part of cancer care in order to expand its reach and address priorities such as increasing the diversity of supporters and those they help.
