Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Psychological Stress, Life Stress, Emotional Stress

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) intervention in a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Women's Wellness Clinic. PSP uses a peer support provider to help women identify their primary concern, develop a personalized plan to help address that concern, and provide practical and emotional support to implement the plan. The primary aim is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of PSP and the research protocol.
