Developing a Tailored Psychosocial Education Intervention for Chronic Pain Management for Asian Americans
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Pain
In brief
Chronic pain is a major population health issue affecting more than 100 million Americans and variations in chronic pain experiences have been widely documented, including differences in pain burden and likelihood of undertreatment. Evidence regarding chronic pain experiences of Asian Americans is limited, as are resources and evidence-based programs for this group. Our exploratory, developmental study will provide evidence of feasibility and acceptability of a tailored psychosocial education intervention to reduce pain catastrophizing and improve pain outcomes for Asian Americans.
