Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Moe and her team, who received a 2025 VCH Research Institute Innovation and Translational Award to evaluate an ED-based peer support worker program launched at Vancouver General Hospital in November 2024. The project is a collaboration with operational leaders, people with lived and living experience, and the VCH Indigenous Health Research Unit.
The study will assess program feasibility, gather insights from patients and providers through focus groups and Indigenous storytelling, and estimate the program’s effectiveness at reducing premature departures.
Interested in participating?
If your ED is exploring or implementing peer support, the team would love to connect and potentially include your site in the next phase of research.
