The SPADIS project aims at measuring the social participation of people living in Belgium with one of the following chronic diseases: cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, neuromuscular disease, and HIV/AIDS. The researchers aimed to understand the personal and external barriers and facilitators of their social participation and to inform the relevant decision-makers. The project enriches existing databases with additional information at the individual level, concerning the socioeconomic status and position as well as self-reported outcomes and experience.
