Background: The Narrative Experiences Online (NEON) Intervention provides self-managed web-based access to mental health recovery narratives (n = 659). We evaluated effectiveness and cost-effectiveness in improving quality of life for adults resident in England with mental health problems and recent psychosis experience.
Methods: Prospectively registered pragmatic parallel-group randomised trial controlling for usual care, recruiting from statutory mental health services and through community engagement activities, with a 52-week primary endpoint (ISRCTN11152837).
Background: Peer workers are people with personal experience of mental distress, employed within mental health services to support others with similar experiences. Research has identified a range of factors that might facilitate or hinder the introduction of new peer worker roles into mental health services. While there is mixed evidence for the effectiveness of peer worker delivered interventions, there are no studies exploring how implementation might be associated with effect.

- Evidence shows whirlin has different roles in neurons, but its impact on behavior and function hasn't been fully explored.
- A mutation in the whirlin gene, identified through a genetic screening, leads to hearing issues and increased hyperactivity in mice.
- The study demonstrates that whirlin is crucial for both hearing and activity-related behaviors, indicating broader roles for this protein in brain function.
