Summary

This study tests a web-based program called Web-SUCCEED that helps veterans with chronic illness and their informal caregivers work together to manage the condition. The program includes three weekly online modules and brief phone calls with staff, focusing on stress coping and communication. Researchers will measure whether it improves self-care, quality of life, and caregiver experience. The goal is to provide an accessible option for those who cannot easily attend in-person visits.
