Peer Intervention to Improve Access Among Rural Women Veterans With

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This research project will refine and evaluate delivery of a peer-delivered evidence-based intervention to improve perceived access and actual engagement with mental health treatment and social resource service use among rural women Veterans, especially Veterans of color, with psychological distress and unmet social needs.

Clinical Trial Description

Not only do rural women Veterans report significant psychological distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicide risk) and social needs (housing, transportation, material insecurity), they also experience substantial barriers accessing services which limits the Veteran Health Administration's (VHA) ability to address their needs. Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) is a virtually delivered intervention in which a Peer Specialist supports Veterans in prioritizing their needs and attaining access to the Veterans' preferred services. This trial is investigating whether PSP with rural women Veterans is associated with improved perceived access and actual engagement to mental health and social resource services, as well as high satisfaction and improved mental health, social needs and function outcomes. Rural women Veterans of color are more likely to be coping with psychological distress and social needs, as well as experiencing barriers to engagement and retention in services. Therefore this trial is designed to ensure that PSP delivery is tailored to increase rural women Veterans of color's acceptability. The primary study design is a randomized controlled trial of Tailored Referral Information (TR) compared to Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) intervention for rural women Veterans with psychological distress and social needs (Aim 2). Prior to implementing the trial, focus groups and individual interviews will be conducted with women Veterans, Peer Specialists, and providers/stakeholders to determine any needed adaptations to determine any needed adaptations of PSP delivery for rural women Veterans and for PSP implementation in rural primary care clinics (Aim 1). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
