Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Many Veterans with mental health care needs go without care due to stigma, practical problems with getting services, and a high value on self-sufficiency. VHA has developed online programs aimed at fostering MH that are easy to access and may be more acceptable than psychotherapy. The purpose of this study is to learn whether peer-supported use of an online problem-solving course is acceptable and helpful and whether the study data can be collected online. Results of this pilot study would inform a larger study of the impact on problem-solving and mental health of a non-stigmatizing, online program - with and without peer support. If effective, peer supported online programs would improve the quality of care to Veterans with unmet mental health needs.
