Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot an adaptation of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for chronic pain and depression. The main questions it aims to answer in a later fully powered randomized controlled trial are:

* Is an adaptation of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for older Black adults able to improve quality of life?
* Will an adapted mindfulness based cognitive therapy reduce pain interference to a greater degree than a traditional health enhancement program?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy

The delivered intervention is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy adapted for the chronic pain and depression among older Black adults. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a structured psychotherapy that integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. This adapted MBCT is delivered as an 8-week group-based program with each weekly session lasting about 1 hour. Sessions occur once per week, supplemented by daily home practice of 40-60 minutes, 6 days a week, involving guided meditations, body scans, and mindful activities to reinforce skills.
