Peer support and storytelling to help COPD lung rehab
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how well people with COPD can take part in pulmonary rehabilitation by using peer coaching and short storytelling videos. If you recently had a COPD flare and are being referred to lung rehab, this may offer extra support to help you complete the program.
