Why the study?
Do self-management support interventions reduce health care utilisation without compromising outcomes?
Do self-management support interventions reduce health care utilisation without compromising outcomes?
Self-management support interventions modestly reduce health care utilization without compromising outcomes, particularly in respiratory and cardiovascular disorders.
May support integration into chronic care to modestly curb utilization; confirms safety across conditions in Level 1 evidence.
Self-management support interventions can reduce health service utilization without compromising patient health outcomes, although effects were generally small, and the evidence was strongest in respiratory and cardiovascular disorders. Further work is needed to determine which components of self-management support are most effective.
