This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a brief mindfulness training program works better than a problem-solving skills class for veterans experiencing depression, anxiety, or trauma-related stress. Both programs are offered in regular primary care settings, so you won't need to go to a special mental health clinic. The study wants to find out which approach helps veterans feel better, and what makes these programs easier or harder to use in everyday VA clinics.
Many veterans struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma, but specialty mental health care isn't always available or convenient. This research is testing whether short, practical programs delivered in primary care—where veterans already go for regular checkups—can be an effective way to help people feel better without long wait times or complex treatment.

You will be randomly assigned to either the mindfulness training program or the problem-solving skills class. Both programs are brief and delivered in your primary care clinic. The mindfulness program teaches sitting meditation, body scans, gentle movement, and discussion about acceptance and letting go. The problem-solving program teaches step-by-step skills like stopping, slowing down, thinking, and acting. You'll attend group sessions and complete questionnaires to measure how you're feeling before, during, and after the program.
