eHealth program to support family caregivers of individuals with SCI

Researcher(s): Dr. William Miller

As part of our multi-phase eHealth module development study, we have completed our first stage of co-creating the contents of the module from family caregivers and healthcare professionals through numerous interviews. We have identified 9 main topics that may be included in the online module. We are now in the stages of prioritizing the main topics and the sub-topics from all the contributions through this survey. Please review each main topic and sub-topics, and rank how important it is for the topic/sub-topics to be addressed and included in the online module.
