Objective: During this 2-year clinical trial, we will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive and integrated (holistic) wellness program for men and women with SCI. It is hypothesized that program participants will experience fewer secondary conditions, demonstrate improved physiological and psychological health, perceive improved QOL, and change their health knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors.The 60 men and women with SCI will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will attend a series of six workshops. The control group will go through the same assessment process as the intervention group. The assessment measures include the Health Risk Appraisal, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Beyond Disability: Consumer Reporting Form-Secondary Condition Prevention Program, Self-Efficacy Scale, Self-rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale, McGill Pain Inventory, Brief Symptom Invento ry!, Ways of Coping questionnaire, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, ASIA Classification Measure, arm crank ergometry, body mass index, resting heart rate, and total cholesterol. Repeated measures of ANCOVA will be used to determine the treatment effect.
