Summary
This study tested a program called RESET, led by community health workers, to improve mental and physical health in older adults. 457 participants, mostly African American seniors aged 50 and over, took part in weekly group phone sessions and listened to podcasts on topics like positive thinking, exercise, and relaxation. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and loneliness compared to a simple wellness check.
