A digital social intervention by primary care clinicians.
"The intervention in this study will involve a structured consultation with a primary care clinician (e.g. a general practitioner (GP) or practice nurse) to promote online peer support, followed by engagement with the OHC of the Asthma + Lung UK (ALUK) charity. The intervention will either be delivered in person (in the general practices) or virtually. The aim is for the intervention to involve a face-to-face, one-off consultation, lasting approximately 30 minutes, during which a primary care clinician will:~* Signpost and sign patients up to the ALUK OHC, by thoroughly explaining terms of conditions of use and providing log in details.~* Introduce norms and values for passive (just reading) and active (writing OHC posts) participation.~* Encourage seeking and offering self-management information and support, by emphasising that the OHC could be used ad hoc (e.g. when feeling unwell, or when there are information or emotional needs)."
