Can a 6-Week class help vulnerable people better manage their chronic illness?

This study tested whether a 6-week self-management education program could improve the quality of life for people with long-term health conditions who face social or economic disadvantages. It involved 235 participants, including patients and caregivers, across five European countries. The main goal was to see if teaching practical skills for managing daily life with a chronic disease leads to better health and well-being for this often-overlooked group.
