How much work is involved in looking after your health
Overview
This project continues to examine the non-financial costs associated with chronic illness management using data derived from two national surveys. It addresses the pattern of activity, including use of services, undertaken by people with chronic illness, and offers information to health practitioners on issues related to self-management of chronic illness, and factors that may affect the clinician-patient partnership.
