EXPERIMENTAL

The online CDSMP is an internet-based program for people with 1 or more chronic conditions. It's built on self-efficacy theory, facilitated by lay leaders, and uses a curriculum emphasizing problem solving, decision making, and confidence building in weekly sessions over six weeks. It addresses generic topics and skills relevant to managing any chronic condition, including: action plans; problem solving; nutrition; exercise; fatigue; breathing; managing medications; managing stress and emotions; working with health care providers. The structure includes: 1) password-protected, interactive web-based instruction; 2) web-based bulletin board discussion groups to enable participatory learning and support; 3) and a reference book that contains the program content and supplemental information.
