'Thriving With Bipolar Disorder': Co-design and Evaluation of a Peer-Led Education Program Focused on Quality of Life (NCT06878937)
'Thriving With Bipolar Disorder': Co-design and Pilot Evaluation of a Peer-Delivered, Quality of Life Focused Group Psychoeducation Program
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Self-management strategies can be used by individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) to cope with symptoms and improve quality of life (QoL). Peer-facilitated education programs have the potential to diversify delivery of self-management information by capitalizing on the expertise of individuals who live well with BD. We have co-designed a novel, peer-facilitated, QoL-focused, group education program for people living with BD. This project will involve administration of the program and an evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of this program for self-management of BD.
