Summary

This study tested a program called Whole Health STEPS for Veterans with mental health concerns who are not in mental health treatment. The program uses a peer support specialist to help Veterans set and work toward wellness goals, with increasing support as needed. The goal was to see if this approach improves daily functioning. The study involved 82 Veterans from primary care settings.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Whole Health STEPS (peer-delivered support program)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new way to help Veterans with mental health concerns improve their daily lives without directly entering mental health treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 82 participants, so results may not apply to all Veterans. The program's effectiveness is still uncertain.
