Employing Peer Outreach and Whole Health in Recovery (EMPOWER) for homeless-experienced veterans: protocol for a hybrid type 3 implementation trial.
Article in Implementation science : IS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07309224 (Employing Peer Outreach and Whole Health in Recovery), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
backgroundHomelessness is a national crisis in the United States, particularly in the veteran population. Due to multiple chronic conditions, homeless individuals have elevated risk for acute care service use. Engagement in primary and specialty care can mitigate this risk. Interventions grounded in evidence-based practices of peer support, patient-centered care, and whole health are effective for increasing service engagement. However, implementation of such interventions with high-acuity patients often requires multi-component strategies that are intensive and costly. This protocol paper describes a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation trial of Employing Peer Outreach and Whole Health in Recovery (EMPOWER) with high-need, homeless-experienced veterans in permanent supportive housing and will evaluate the impact and cost of high-intensity (vs. low-intensity) implementation strategies on outcomes.
methods(Aim 1) At 7 sites in the Veterans Health Administration (VA), a mixed methods pre-implementation evaluation will identify determinants and their potential impact on uptake of EMPOWER and inform modifications to the intervention and implementation strategies as needed. (Aim 2) A staircase cluster randomized design will evaluate the rollout of the implementation strategies, beginning with Audit and Feedback (low-intensity) and then switching to Implementation Facilitation (high-intensity) after 6 months. Implementation Facilitation is hypothesized to have a greater impact on the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation (fidelity), and maintenance of EMPOWER. (Aim 3) A budget impact analysis will estimate the average cost of implementing EMPOWER at future sites and comparative costs for implementing the low- and high-intensity strategies. DISCUSSION: This project will provide information on the relative impacts and relative costs of strategies aimed at implementing a peer-led, patient-centered, whole health intervention for homeless-experienced veterans in permanent supportive housing. The findings will provide guidance to VA and other healthcare systems that serve the aging population of homeless-experienced veterans.
