This pilot study, modeled upon the successful and empirically validated HELP Prevent Diabetes Intervention, incorporates a migraine education component describing the links between lifestyle behaviors and migraine activity (e.g., frequency, impairment) into an existing lifestyle intervention used previously for Veterans at risk for developing Type II diabetes. The principal objectives of this research are to assess the feasibility, acceptability (recruitment), engagement (retention, adherence), and promise of implementing the HELP-VM at the Salisbury. To achieve our objectives, the investigators propose to assess the acceptability of HELP-VM by determining our ability to recruit Veterans to participate in the HELP-VM intervention as administered through the existing structure of the Salisbury VAMC's Whole Health Program, to evaluate the feasibility of implementing HELP-VM by assessing Veterans' adherence to HELP-VM and our capacity to retain them in a clinical trial, and to evaluate the promise of HELP-VM by obtaining preliminary data to estimate variances of primary (headache frequency, headache-related impairment) and secondary/exploratory outcome measures (e.g., emotional distress, use of analgesics/opiates, headache self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing) to inform a future, large-scale trial.
