Summary

This study tests a program called CONNECTED, designed to help veterans who feel socially isolated. The program involves peer support, counseling, and help finding social resources, all delivered by video over 8 weeks. Researchers will compare it to weekly friendly check-ins to see which approach better reduces isolation and loneliness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CONNECTED (peer-led social support program)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical way to reduce social isolation and improve well-being among veterans.
What could go wrong
This is a single-site trial with 264 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The intervention requires active participation, which may not suit everyone.
