Summary

This trial will test if mindfulness can help Veterans reduce depression & better adjust to life after service.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Veterans enrolled in VHA care, aged 18-44, who served after October 2001 and are experiencing difficulty adjusting to civilian life. They must also have moderate depression as indicated by a score of 10-14 on the PHQ-9.

What is being tested?

The study tests 'RECLAIM', a virtual mindfulness-based program designed to ease depressive symptoms and help Veterans reintegrate into civilian life more smoothly.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves mindfulness practices rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress during the process.
