Over twenty-five million Americans strive to manage a chronic health condition with greater than 20% ofthese individuals managing more than one condition. More than 75% of health care expenditures are related tochronic conditions, and chronic illness is the most common reason Americans seek healthcare.[1] Further, over15 million Americans have functional limitations preventing them from following through with often complextreatment regimens.[2] Managing acute and chronic health conditions or risk factors related to such conditionscan prevent, delay or attenuate health problems. For individuals and their families living with acute and chronicconditions, effective self-management is crucial to the achievement of positive health outcomes and quality oflife (QOL). Studies related to the efficacy of self-management offer significant promise to improving healthoutcomes[3-12] and provide insight into the multidimensional components of self-management. However, it isessential to determine which and how individuals and/or families will benefit most from self-managementinterventions, the cost of such interventions, and the identification and measurement of outcomes sensitive toself-management interventions.[8,13,14] In addition, research is needed to identify and examine the context,process and outcomes critical to the success of self-management interventions for individuals and families.The purpose of this proposed Exploratory Nursing Science Center the Center for Enhancement of Selfmanagementin Individuals and Families (The Center) at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee College ofNursing is to expand programs of research aimed at enhancing the science of self-management in individualsand families. The overall goal of The Center is to advance the science of self-management by exploring,developing, and testing self-management interventions.
