Supporting service members and veterans during their transition to civilian life using certified sponsors: A 3-arm randomized controlled trial

Abstract Transitioning military servicemembers and veterans (TSMVs) face difficulties throughout their reintegration to civilian life, including challenges with employment, poor social connection, and elevated risk for suicide. To meet the needs of this high-risk population, national initiatives have leveraged community-based interventions. Authors conducted a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (n=200) to evaluate two community-based interventions. The first, Team Red, White & Blue (RWB), connects TSMVs to their community through physical/social activities.
