This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:

Primary objective

To assess the effects of peer-supported interventions on quality of life and self-management compared with control (i.e. usual care, no intervention, or other supportive or psychosocial interventions) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Secondary objective

To assess the effects of peer-supported interventions on health service utilisation, secondary health conditions, mood disorders, and social participation compared with control (i.e. usual care, no intervention, or other supportive or psychosocial interventions) in people with SCI, as well as to assess the adverse outcomes of peer-supported interventions in people with SCI.
