VA requires delivery of the official eight-session intervention to approximately 300 veterans, training and certification of up to 20 VA clinicians as Cognitive Coaches annually, provision of 300 official veteran participant material sets and 105 additional sets for VA clinicians, and approximately 480 hours of program administration, training, coordination, technical assistance, fidelity monitoring, evaluation, and quarterly/annual reporting.
