Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?Health coaches help people focus on goals, identify strengths and values, and work towards building the life they wish to live. Health coaching may be especially helpful for people navigating a life transition, such as Veterans who recently separated from military service (i.e., reintegrating Veterans). In this pilot trial the investigators will 1) examine the feasibility of study procedures and acceptability of health coaching among reintegrating Veterans, 2) evaluate measures for suitability in a future trial that will examine efficacy of the intervention, 3) determine barriers and facilitators to implementing the intervention among reintegrating Veterans.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for U.S. military veterans who have recently separated from service and are navigating the transition back to civilian life. They must be able to read and understand English, not live in an institution like a nursing home or prison, not currently experiencing psychosis or at acute risk for suicide, and without significant cognitive impairment.

Participant Groups

The trial is testing whether health coaching can help reintegrating veterans by focusing on their goals and values as they adjust to civilian life. It will also assess how feasible and acceptable this approach is among the participants, evaluate measures for future trials, and identify any barriers or facilitators.
