ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Supporting Resilience Among Re-entered Seniors," is designed to help older adults who have recently returned to their communities after being in jail or prison. The study aims to understand the unique strengths and challenges these individuals face, especially regarding managing their chronic health conditions. In the first part of the trial, participants will share their experiences through surveys and focus groups. Based on this feedback, researchers will create a special program to help them build the skills and knowledge they need.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 45 years old, have a chronic health condition, and have recently re-entered their community from incarceration. Those who join will first complete a survey and then take part in an 8-week program, meeting once a week, followed by three follow-up surveys to see how helpful the program was. This study is currently looking for participants, and it provides a chance for older adults to receive support tailored to their specific needs during this transition period.
