DRIV - Health Online for People With Spinal Cord Injury

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a 10-week web-based health promotion program ("DRIV") can improve healthy lifestyle habits and overall well-being in adults living with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participating in the online course lead to healthier lifestyle behaviors (for example, more physical activity and a better diet) and improved self-reported health for people with SCI? Are any improvements in health habits or well-being maintained six months after completing the program? Researchers will compare participants who take the 10-week DRIV course to those on a waitlist (no intervention during that period) to see if any changes in lifestyle or health outcomes are due to the program (and not just time or other factors). Participants will: Attend a 1-hour group session online (via video) each week for 10 weeks, covering topics like exercise, nutrition, stress management, and goal setting (this is the intervention for the course group; waitlist group has no sessions during this time). Complete health questionnaires at the start of the study and after 10 weeks (all participants), and again 6 months after the course for those who received the intervention, to report on their lifestyle habits, physical and mental health, and goal achievement. Wear a wrist activity monitor (accelerometer) for 7 days at the beginning and 7 days at the end of the 10-week period to objectively measure physical activity levels.
