Veterans Service Organizations and My HealtheVet (MHV)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Coronary Artery Disease, Diabetes Mellitus

In brief

This project will design, deliver, and evaluate a peer support intervention that will help veterans become familiar with and register for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) My HealtheVet (MHV). It will lay the groundwork for 2 types of future projects. First, the investigators will develop materials that can be used in other settings to increase registration, authentication, and meaningful use of MHV. Second, it will allow us to develop and study interventions that use informed, peer-supported Internet use to improve health behaviors and outcomes among veterans.
