View original scientific description
The Mindfulness, Nutrition and Exercise to Optimize Resilience (MENTOR) program is offered through the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD). NCHPAD is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a public health practice that offers health promotion programs and resources to people with mobility disabilities. The purpose of this project is to provide a free-of-charge wellness program designed to improve health and wellness for people with mobility and physical disability living in the United States.
Interventions
BEHAVIORAL
MENTOR
Participants will attend a group-based, 8-week online program (a total of 40 hours) via Zoom videoconferencing. The program is split into three wellness sections (Mindfulness, Exercise, and Nutrition) and eight other sections (self-care skills, core values, outdoor time in nature, rest/relaxation, contribution to others, arts and leisure, relationships, and spiritual practice). Participants will access all assessment and intervention tools on any mobile device (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop) using a password-protected identification (ID) to log in via their devices. Health coaches can create intake flows to collect health data and track analytics. Participants can see their goals, upcoming intervention sessions, and activities through the study application (app). Features of the study app include goal setting, where participants record their goals, zoom videoconferencing links for online classes and coaching sessions, and the ability to share materials with participants.
Primary outcome measures
Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)
Time frame: Pre/Post 8-week Program
This is a resilience measure to gain a better understanding of whether the program had any benefit to improving resilience. It consists of 10 items.The response scale has a 5-point range from 0 to 4. Scores are summed to provide a total score of 40, where higher scores indicate higher resilience. It measures the Effectiveness of the RE-AIM framework.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
