Summary

This study aims to evaluate outcomes from the Shields \& Stripes (S\&S) program - a 12-week, multidisciplinary wellness intervention designed for veterans and first responders. The S\&S program integrates occupational therapy (OT), mental health (MH), physical therapy (PT), and registered dietitian (RD) services to promote recovery, resilience, and performance in individuals who have experienced cumulative stress, trauma exposure, or occupational burnout.

This research will use a retrospective mixed-methods observational design to analyze data collected from previous S\&S participants who consent to research use of their de-identified information. No intervention or treatment changes will occur as part of this study.

Quantitative data will include biometric information (e.g., sleep, activity, and heart rate variability via Oura Ring), standardized self-report measures (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PCL-5, RAND-36, PSQI, ISI), satisfaction surveys, and laboratory nutrition panels. Qualitative data will include semi-structured interviews with consenting participants and S\&S providers following program completion.

The purpose of the study is to identify patterns of improvement in physical, psychological, and occupational functioning and to explore how integrated, team-based care supports holistic recovery. Findings may inform the development of future evidence-based wellness programs for military and first-responder populations.

Participation involves minimal risk, and all data will be de-identified before analysis.
