Effectiveness of community-based interventions to enable people with long-term conditions and/or frailty to participate in activities of daily living: an Evidence Synthesis report

The aim of this evidence synthesis report is to determine whether community-based interventions enable people living with long-term conditions and/or frailty, to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs) or daily self-care. ADLs refer to the essential activities that an individual is required to perform to live independently, such as bathing, feeding, toileting, dressing, grooming /personal hygiene and functional mobility/transferring. ADLs differ from IADLs (Instrumental ADLs) which refer to extended tasks such as meal preparation, using public transportation, doing household chores and managing finances and medication.
