{ "Testing Peer-Supported Mobile Health for Veterans with Psychological Distress", "This study is for Veterans in primary care who are experiencing psychological distress, which can include feelings of depression, anxiety, or stress. Many Veterans don't use mobile health (mHealth) apps enough to get the full benefits, even though these apps can help manage distress. This study explores if support from a peer specialist – a VA employee with their own experience in mental health recovery – can help Veterans use these apps more effectively. You would be using mHealth apps and might receive one or four sessions of peer support focused on either mHealth or 'Whole Health' (a broader approach to well-being). Researchers will measure your levels of depression, anxiety, and stress over 24 weeks to see how well these interventions work. This study is open to Veterans aged 18 and older who are enrolled in primary care at specific VA facilities in Philadelphia, Ann Arbor, or Bedford, and who show clinically significant psychological distress.", "design": "This interventional study plans to enroll 384 participants.
