Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This pilot feasibility trial will enroll middle-aged and older, homeless women (MAO-HW) in the HEALthy Beginnings intervention. Participants will be asked to complete a baseline questionnaire and locator guide. Participants will then engage over a period of approximately three months in nine 60-90 minute group sessions focused on health topics, and to meet with a research team member for six private sessions which will last up to 45 minutes each to assess the program and discuss content.

Fifteen participants will be asked to return at completion of the group/individual sessions to participate in a post-intervention qualitative focus group and follow-up questionnaire to evaluate the HEALthy Beginnings intervention.
