Assessing the Living Well in the Community Program for people with disabilities in the context of COVID-19
While online delivery of LWC demonstrated reduced impact compared to prior in-person implementations, the program supported participants in maintaining stable health and engagement during a period of significant global disruption. While results were generally insignificant, they still suggest that online delivery of the LWC program may have been a valuable intervention for participants. Future research should investigate hybrid models and use larger sample sizes to assess program efficacy.
