Health coaching for vets: a pilot study on reintegration and suicide prevention
NCT ID NCT05199467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether health coaching can help veterans who recently left the military adjust to civilian life and reduce suicide risk. Researchers worked with 95 veterans to see if the program was practical and well-received. The goal was to prepare for a larger future study, not to prove the coaching works.
