Summary

The proposed study will test whether a shared medical appointment for Veterans with chronic pain is feasible and acceptable to veteran patients and their providers. The shared medical appointment, called Pain SMART (Shared Medical Appointments to Refocus Treatment), is a brief, one-visit shared medical appointment where providers in primary care and a behavioral health specialist (e.g., a psychologist) meet with a group of patients with chronic pain. The overall goal of Pain SMART is to improve pain care for Veterans. Veterans will be randomized in equal numbers to either attend a Pain SMART visit or to receive educational information in the mail. The primary outcome of this pilot study is whether or not the shared medical appointment is feasible and acceptable to patients and providers.
