Summary

Learning chronic pain self-management skills can help patients improve daily functioning and quality of life, while avoiding risks associated with opioids and other pharmacological treatments. Community health workers (CHWs) may help make chronic pain self-management interventions more accessible to older adults living in underserved communities. The goal of this study is to conduct a feasibility test of a chronic pain self-management intervention delivered by CHWs, in conjunction with mobile health tools, in a sample of 25 older adults recruited from community sites in Detroit, Michigan. This study will involve the use of mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to assess participant engagement and satisfaction, and change in pain-related outcomes.

BEHAVIORAL

STEPS (Seniors using Technology to Engage in Pain Self-management)

Participants will meet with a community health worker (CHW) at a one-hour in-person study orientation session. At this session, they will be introduced to the program, learn how to use the online modules and associated materials, and schedule six weekly telephone sessions with the CHW. Participants will be given a wearable physical activity tracker to use throughout the course of the program. They can choose to report daily step counts by automatically syncing to an app or via text message. Each week during the study period, participants will engage with content on the website, have a session with the community health worker, track their daily steps, and set and work toward pain-management goals.
