This presentation will describe the process of refining and finalizing the MedManageSCI prototype, which is a toolkit to support adults with spinal cord injury/dysfunction with medication self-management.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the three key categories of revisions that were made to MedManageSCI.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the importance of including end-users in the development and refinement of toolkit content.
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the benefit of using cognitive interviews to refine health-related toolkits, by focusing on the clarity, comprehensiveness, relevance, and delivery of information.
