Little is known regarding community participation in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to explore community participation in individuals with COPD and to determine whether there is an association between community participation and activity-related outcome variables commonly collected during pulmonary rehabilitation assessment. We also sought to investigate which of these variables might influence community participation in people with COPD.

Lifestyle changes among people with type 2 diabetes are associated with participation in online groups and time since diagnosis.

Background: For people with Type 2 diabetes (T2D), lifestyle changes may be the most effective intervention. Online groups for people with diabetes holds a great potential to support such changes. However, little is known about the association between participation in online groups and lifestyle changes based on internet information in people with T2D.

COVID-19-related misinformation on social media: a systematic review.

Objective: To review misinformation related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on social media during the first phase of the pandemic and to discuss ways of countering misinformation.

Intervention research is often highly controlled and does not reflect real-world situations. More pragmatic approaches, albeit less controllable and more challenging, offer the opportunity of identifying unexpected factors and connections. As the introduction of mHealth into formal diabetes care settings is relatively new and less often explored from the perspectives of patients and providers together, such an opportunity for exploration should be embraced.
