Group interventions are normally organized for efficiency purposes or to facilitate learning and knowledge exchange among peers (people living with the same health condition). For example, peer-led education group to enhance physical activity in obese individuals.
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.
