Abstract
Persons with Spinal Cord Injury/Disease (SCI/D) experience secondary health conditions to a higher degree than the general population which impacts their function, quality of life, and lifespan. The factors that limit or support participation in self-management behaviors and programs were explored and we asked people with SCI/D what they would want out of a self-management program tailored to their needs. Results showed that virtual programs with a both group and individual sessions with a strong mental health component were preferred.
