OBJECTIVES
To describe the development of a peer support intervention and test an enhanced version compared to a standard protocol.
METHODS
Participants (N = 36 females) were assigned to an Enhanced Peer Support (PS) vs Standard weight loss group for 4 months. The PS component consisted of skills training and practice between sessions using social networking.
RESULTS
The PS group perceived significantly more peer support and experienced higher levels of social interaction. When meeting frequency decreased, the PS group showed an increase in overall types of support from group members.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings suggest that an intervention targeting peer support skills results in greater feelings of peer support.

同伴支持组明显感受到更多的同伴支持，并且社交互动水平更高。当见面频率降低时，同伴支持组从组员那里获得的总体支持类型有所增加。
结论
研究结果表明，针对同伴支持技能的干预会带来更强烈的同伴支持感。
