SCI&U Trial Design

Active Control
Group I: SCI&U InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The SCI&U online platform has a resource library, secure videoconferencing, and tools to support one-on-one health coaching. Health coaches are certified in motivational interviewing and have lived in the community with SCI for more than five years. In the first session, participants identify priority issues related to their health and target management of secondary conditions specific to SCI. They will work through goal setting, problem solving activities and create action plans for behaviour change, which will be securely stored. The intervention will be a maximum of 14 sessions over 6 months. Each session will cover a health-related topic (bladder, bowel, skin, pain, healthy eating, physical activity or stress, anxiety and depression) and a self-management skill topic (action planning, goal setting, problem-solving, mood management, navigating the health care system and communicating with health care providers) with an expected duration of 30 to 45 minutes.
