Our research

This series aims to make it easy for you to find information about our past and ongoing research projects.
The W3 Project started in 2013 with the goal of supporting peer work. We are very fortunate that our work on the W3 Framework also led to other exciting projects — all with the same overall goal.
For us, part of supporting peer work means making sure we share as much as we can about what we learn through our work.

Our current research
Stage 3 of the W3 Project is now underway. The goal is to build an evidence base to help demonstrate the impact and value of peer-led work in the Australian HIV and hepatitis C response.
Other research
We share how the PozQoL Project developed and validated a 13-item scale to measure changes in the quality of life of people living with HIV.
Stage 2 of the W3 Project trialled the W3 Framework in peer-led PLHIV and PWUD organisations in Victoria, Australia.
Stage 1 of the W3 Project used systems thinking to understand and describe peer work. Through this work, the W3 Framework was created.
This project focussed on converting peer insights from peers who use drugs into resources for Australia’s hepatitis C response.
