This paper presents findings from the evaluation of a self-management education program based on self-regulation principles. Older men and women (n = 324) were randomly assigned to program and control groups. Outcomes were measured using the Sickness Impact Profile. Twelve months following baseline data collection, psychosocial functioning of program participants was significantly better than that of controls. Different program effects were noted when results were analyzed by participant gender.
