Evaluation of ProVetus/Sponsorship Initiative

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Reintegration, Social Support

In brief

Some Veterans who recently served in the military report significant psychological problems based on their experiences in the military. Stressors that these Veterans face when they transition out of the military can acerbate these problems and negatively impact their long-term physical and psychological well-being. The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of providing Veterans who are transitioning back into their civilian communities trained, peer mentorship (Pro Vetus) and membership in a Veteran Support Organization (VSO) Team Red, White, and Blue (TM RWB) to reduce transition stressors, maintain psychological and physical health, reduce suicides and reduce criminal incidents.
