Interventions
SONATA
SONATA includes six evidence-based components to help patients: 1) identify and set personal goals to achieve well-being (goal-setting); 2) identify their social network (SN) members and map their SNs (network diagnostics); 3) engage key SN members to address their goals and needs (network engagement); 4) build channels for communication and collaboration with key SN members via in-person and virtual activities (opportunity creation); 5) communicate effectively with their key SN members, develop action plans, and provide support (skill building); and 6) engage in cycles of feedback to effectively respond to the patient's evolving needs.
