About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a remote peer navigator intervention (OP-ENS - CL) for people with newly acquired physical disabilities returning to community living after rehabilitation improves self-reported social support, health, and community participation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Do people with acquired physical disabilities who receive the remote peer navigator intervention experience greater social support and self-efficacy than people in the control group?

Do people with acquired physical disabilities who receive the remote peer navigator intervention have better self-reported health and social participation outcomes than people in the control group?

Is the OP-ENS - CL intervention acceptable to people with newly acquired physical disabilities returning to community living?
