Study Summary
Arthritis is a painful, disabling condition that disproportionately affects African Americans. Existing arthritis treatments yield only small to moderate improvements in pain and are not effective at reducing racial disparities in arthritis pain. According to the biopsychosocial model of pain, there is a need for novel interventions that target psychosocial factors associated with arthritis outcomes and disparities in outcomes. Evidence from the field of psychology suggests that an intervention designed to develop a positive mindset has the potential to improve pain and functioning and reduce racial disparities in patients with arthritis. Interventions to foster a positive mindset have been developed for clinical patient populations but have not yet been fully tested in patients with arthritis or in Veterans, nor have their effects on racial differences in clinical outcomes been examined. This study will address these gaps by testing the impact of an evidence-based positive activities intervention on pain and functioning in African American and White Veterans with knee arthritis.
