Summary

This trial seeks to improve psychosocial and physical functioning of African American older adults in Detroit, MI, through a resilience-building intervention led by CHWs, in order to reduce the impact of systemic racism and COVID-19.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American older adults over 50 in Detroit who are experiencing depression, anxiety, fatigue, loneliness, stress or chronic pain. Participants must have a phone and be comfortable speaking English. Those with severe acute illness, planned major surgery soon, cognitive impairments like dementia or conditions that affect study cooperation are excluded.
What is being tested?
RESET is being tested against a one-time wellness check control. RESET includes group calls, podcasts and activity trackers aiming to improve mental and physical health among participants at risk of poor functioning due to COVID-19's impact on their lives.
What are the potential side effects?
Since RESET involves non-medical interventions such as group telephone calls and podcasts rather than drugs or medical procedures, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there may be emotional discomfort from discussing personal issues during the intervention.
