Summary

Researchers are adapting a VA health promotion group for older Veterans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or a related identity. The program meets weekly and covers healthy aging, stress, goals of care, social connections, and VA and community resources. The study enrolls 60 Veterans aged 50 and older to see whether the virtual group is feasible and whether it eases anxiety and depression symptoms.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a structured weekly health promotion group adapted from the VA Pride in All Who Served program
What this could lead to
If the group proves feasible and helpful, it could give older LGBTQ+ Veterans a tailored program for healthy aging, less anxiety, and stronger connections to care. It could also become a model for adapting VA services to other groups of Veterans.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study of 60 people, so it cannot prove the program works or that any benefits last. The group may not retain enough participants, and results may not apply to Veterans outside the partnering sites.
