Recovery colleges (RC) aim to promote the recovery of people who experience mental vulnerabilities. Rather than facilitating treatment of illness (as regular mental health care services [MHCS] do), RCs are learning environments, with a special focus on peer support and co-creation. While MHCS are founded on scientific and professional knowledge, RCs value the knowledge and abilities of those with lived experiences as such. By sharing experiences, RC attendees can inspire and support each other (hence 'peer support') and they can use their experiences to contribute to the educational program (hence 'co-creation'). In the Netherlands RCs are 100% peer run, meaning that no mental health care workers are involved. Despite promising premature findings on the effectiveness of RC attendance (e.g., positive impacts on MHCS use, mental wellbeing and functioning, quality of life, empowerment and more), large, controlled studies are extremely scarce. Furthermore, the way RCs are managed in the Netherlands seems to differ from the RCs that have been studied before. While RCs in some countries are a coproduction of peers and mental health practitioners, RCs in the Netherlands are 100% peer run, although they are usually hosted by MHCS. In turn, this research project aims to investigate the (cost-)effectiveness of RCs in the Netherlands. In terms of effectiveness, we expect that RC attendance improves feelings of empowerment. Besides, we investigate impacts on quality of life, mental health, loneliness, satisfaction with treatment and support and self-stigma. We also determine the cost-effectiveness of Dutch RCs.

Other | Change Health Care and Services Use (cost-effectiveness) | Use of health care facilities (e.g., GP, mental health care facilities, psychiatric hospital), services use (e.g., municipality services) and medication, to be transformed into economic costs by the use of the iMTA costing tool.

Other | Change in Absenteeism and Presenteeism (cost-effectiveness) | The amount of working days participants were ill and could not work (absenteeism), and the amount of working days participants were ill but still went to work (presenteeism). Regarding presenteeism we inquire about the % of work done as compared to an average working day. This will be transformed into costs. | t0 = baseline, t1= 0.5 year later, t2 = 1 year later, t3 = 1.5 years later, t4 = 2 years later. | |
Other | Change in Providing and Receiving Informal Care (cost-effectiveness) | Questions whether participant provides informal care (and if so, how many hours per week) and whether participant receives informal care from e.g., family or friends (and if so, how many hours per week). This will be transformed into costs. | t0 = baseline, t1= 0.5 year later, t2 = 1 year later, t3 = 1.5 years later, t4 = 2 years later. | |
Primary | Change in Empowerment | Operationalized by means of four subscales (Confidence and Purpose, Connectedness, Self-management and Professional help) of the Netherlands Empowerment List.
