Dissemination of the Lupus Interactive Navigator

The Lupus interactive navigator (LIN) was developed to facilitate and support engagement and self-management for persons with lupus. It is a web-based program that provides access to relevant information, resources, support, and other tools to help them manage their illness. It is accessible by the Internet and compatible for use with computer, tablet, and mobile device. The content for the LIN was based on the results of focus group discussions and web-based surveys of persons with lupus and health care providers. Medical researchers, writers, designers and programmers worked with clinical experts affiliated with the Canadian Network for improved outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (CaNIOS) and persons with lupus to provide the written content and interview videos.

Usual care for three months prior to access to the LIN
