Individual sessions
A single person receives the self-management support. Examples: self-guided actions (without the participation of any other person) during a clinical visit or within the context of a support or educational session
Face-to-face
Self-management support delivered in a face-to-face encounter between the providers and patients and/or caregivers.
Intervention analysed in the study: Education based intervention
