- Greater perceived family support with chronic disease self-care. We hypothesize that participants who receive more frequent help from family or friends with chronic disease self-care will benefit more from the intervention. Studies of self-management for chronic physical illnesses have found a positive relationship between social support and self-care, especially for diabetes, and for dietary behavior. In our pilot study, we found that patients` use of the behavioral tools was positively associated with patients' report of support from family/friends for the depression intervention, and with family/friend reports of assistance with instrumental activities of daily living. We propose to examine 3 sub-groups defined by the mean frequency per week of assistance in 5 self-care activities (healthy eating, exercise, medications, symptom monitoring, medical care): 1) never, 2) rarely- some days, and 3) many days - almost every day.
