Summary

This pilot study tested a brief virtual mindfulness program called RECLAIM in 36 veterans who had difficulty adjusting to civilian life after service. The program aimed to reduce depressive symptoms and improve community reintegration. Participants completed questionnaires about their mood and daily functioning. The study is complete, but results are not yet reported.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
virtual mindfulness-based intervention (RECLAIM program)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, home-based tool to help veterans feel less depressed and more connected to civilian life.
What could go wrong
This was a very small pilot study with only 36 veterans, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is still experimental and needs larger trials to confirm any benefit.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Veteran participants must: * be between 18-44 years old * have served (a) active duty and/or (b) in the National Guard/Reserves, after October 2001 (can still be in the National Guard or Reservist) * be enrolled in VHA care * endorse at least "some" difficulty adjusting to civilian life to be eligible for participation. Difficulty adjusting to civilian life (i.e., reintegration challenges) will be assessed using the Military to Civilian Questionnaire (M2C-Q). For this study, "some" difficulty will be defined as a mean M2C-Q score of 2; the M2C-Q developers established a score of 2 as indicative of "some" reintegration difficulty and, as such, this is the score the investigators will use in the current study. * endorse at least a moderate level of depression. The investigators will use the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms among potential Veteran participants. Moderate depression is defined as a score of 10-14 on the PHQ-9. This strategy for eligibility criteria optimally positions us to target Veterans who will likely benefit most from RECLAIM and to detect intervention effects in a future fully-powered follow-up trial. Exclusion Criteria: * Veterans will not be immediately excluded from participation in the study; the study team will consult with the Roudebush Suicide Prevention Team and/or the Veterans' care provider to determine whether continued study participation is appropriate.
