First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a four-session mindfulness class (Primary Care Brief Mindfulness Training) can help veterans reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD compared to a problem-solving class. The classes are designed for primary care settings and focus on meditation, body awareness, and gentle movement. The goal is to see if these approaches improve mental health and daily functioning for veterans experiencing psychological distress.

What this could lead to

If effective, this brief mindfulness program could offer a practical, low-cost mental health support option for veterans in primary care settings.
