Efficacy and Mechanism of a Community Wellness Promotion Program for Middle-aged Adults Living With Long-term Physical Disability
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EnhanceWellness for Disability (EW-D) and Wellness Education for Physical Disability. Completed, enrolled 516 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
For people living with long-term physical disabilities, such as spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, middle-age (45-64) is a period of great vulnerability for losses in function and participation. There is an urgent need to develop and test interventions that can be delivered through existing community service agencies to help these people maximize their community participation and quality of life. This research will test the efficacy of one such intervention in a community trial and, thereby, contribute to our understanding of the intervention's effectiveness and mechanisms of action.
