Low-income African-American men with chronic conditions showed significant improvements after participating in Healthy Together, a self-management program. Analysis of pre-post data revealed strong interconnections between physical and emotional health gains. Notably, when fatigue improved, physical discomfort typically also decreased. Similarly, emotional distress reductions were closely linked with physical symptom improvements.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Upon viewing this presentation, participants will be able to evaluate how a culturally tailored self-management program is efficacious in improving both physical and emotional health outcomes among low-income African American men with chronic conditions.
After the presentation, participants will be able to identify patterns of co-occurring health improvements following participation in the Healthy Together program, specifically examining the relationship between physical symptom reduction and emotional well-being.
