The literature on peer-mediated treatment approaches is reviewed, and three types of peer-mediated treatment--proximity, prompt/reinforce, and peer initiation interventions--are identified. The relative efficacy of these interventions is examined, treatment issues are discussed, and directions for future research are considered.Keywords
