Study Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effectiveness of an HRV-BF intervention versus a health promotion active control intervention focused on improving mental health symptoms among people experiencing homelessness (PEH), who were residing in Skid Row, Los Angeles. In total, 40 PEH were randomized to either the HRV-BF or an active health promotion control group, and received 8 weekly, 30-minute sessions over a two month period, delivered by a nurse-led community health worker team. Dependent variables of HRV, mental health, anxiety, depression and PTSD were measured at baseline, the 8-week session, and/or 2-month follow up.

Primary Outcome

Commercially available, medical grade photodetector (photoplethysmography or PPG) sensor and accompanying HRV-BF software application (EmWave Pro Plus, HeartMath) will be used to collect interbeat interval data to produce standard measures of HRV including time-domain measures of SDNN (standard deviation of N-to-N intervals) and RMSSD (Root mean square of successive differences between normal heart beats). Both SDNN and RMSSD are measured in milliseconds (ms). RMSSD is most reflective of vagal t
