Health Coaching: A Pilot Trial Among Reintegrating Veterans

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Veteran Reintegration

In brief

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.
