Summary

This pilot study tested an 8-week group program called RBSTE designed to help Veterans of Color build coping skills and empowerment in response to race-based stress. Thirty-seven veterans participated to see if the program is feasible and acceptable. The goal is to gather information for a future larger study that could improve well-being and reduce health disparities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Race-Based Stress/Trauma and Empowerment (RBSTE) group program
What this could lead to
If this pilot shows the program is feasible and acceptable, it could lead to a larger study testing whether it improves mental and physical health for Veterans of Color.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (37 participants) with no results on health outcomes yet. The program may not prove effective in a larger trial.
