Veterans helping veterans: can peers be the key to better health?
NCT ID NCT04994938
Summary
This study tested a new 12-week program where fellow veterans, trained as peer leaders, guided a small group of older veterans to improve their diet and physical activity. The goal was to see if this peer-led approach was practical and acceptable for helping veterans with mobility issues and multiple health conditions. Researchers measured changes in walking endurance, diet quality, and strength after the program.
