Findings

We published an overview of the RECOLLECT 2 Programme here.

What is a Recovery College?

We conducted a systematised review and stakeholder interviews to develop an understanding of mechanisms of action and outcomes for students here and for staff, services and society here. The interviews were co-analysed with lived experience co-researchers using a new collaborative data analysis methodology here. We developed a fidelity checklist and the RECOLLECT Fidelity Measure which is downloadable with translations here, and evaluated the Fidelity Measure in 39 Recovery Colleges here. We have supported evaluations of RECOLLECT translations, e.g. Brazilian Portugese here. We explored the characteristics and representativeness of Recovery College students here.

Recovery Colleges in England

In 2021 we conducted a survey of all Recovery Colleges in England, in which we identified 88 colleges. The publicly-available contact details of the 68 (77%) Recovery Colleges in England which responded to our survey are listed here. Our survey identified three types of Recovery College here. We conducted a document analysis to understand what courses are offered in 71 Recovery Colleges here.

We then conducted semi-structured interviews at 31 Recovery Colleges. Organisational variation in Recovery College implementation was investigated here, and two ways that Recovery Colleges have changed since the pandemic were identified in a qualitative collaborative data analysis here. NHS research appoval processes did not support peer researcher involvement here. 

We collected outcome data for approximately 500 students enrolled at 36 Recovery Colleges in England for one year. Baseline characteristics of students are described here.

Recovery Colleges around the world

We have described how Recovery Colleges are a global innovation here, and have formed the RECOLLECT International Research Consortium. In 2022 we conducted a global survey collecting data from 174 (79%) of the 221 colleges we identified in 28 countries here.  We explored the associations between culture and Recovery College fidelity here.  Two cultural influences – self-enhancement and ingroup biases – were identified here. We conducted a critical discourse analysis to investigate differences in how Recovery Colleges are presented in Japan and England here, and evaluated our use of the methodology here.  We further examined cultural influences on the 12 fidelity components using data from 28 countries, identifying seven components that were associated with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions here. We used this data to develop a method to estimate cultural distance, to inform international transfer of mental health approaches here. We conducted an international Delphi Consultation to inform cultural adaptations to Recovery Colleges – the protocol is here. We explored the impact of Recovery Colleges on social inclusion here.

We work with other Recovery College research groups, e.g. Dutch study on effectiveness here.
