Clinical Outcomes Associated with Self-Management Classes among Patients of an Urban Community Health Center

چکیده
The need for self-management training is increasing as more people are living with chronic conditions. In this Chronicle we compared clinical outcomes from attendees of two types of self-management training – Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and diabetes selfmanagement education (DSME) with a control group. Patients who took self-management training were more likely to lose 10% of their body weight and demonstrate a lower A1C over time compared to those in the control group.
