Participants (n = 720) were low-income adults referred through Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), who participated in weekly 90-120 minute groups for 3 months. Data were collected via monthly surveys, including the PHQ-9, GAD-7, UCLA 3-item loneliness, exercise as a vital sign, a 2-item dietary screener, and 3 qualitative questions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants saw significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and isolation, and significant increases in daily servings of fruits and vegetables, and weekly minutes of exercise.

Qualitative results identified drivers of positive change, such as creating a sense of belonging and mutual support.
