Study Summary
Chronic pain affects approximately 100 million Americans and 40-70% of Veterans, and amounts to over $600 billion/year in direct medical costs and lost worker productivity. Racial disparities in pain care are well-documented, within and outside VA. Minorities are more likely to be undertreated for pain, are subjected to more urine drug tests, and are referred for substance abuse evaluation more frequently than Whites. Minority patients also exhibit lower levels of engagement and active involvement in their healthcare, which leads to poorer communication with providers and poorer outcomes. COOPERATE is a randomized controlled trial testing an intervention to improve minority Veterans' active participation in their pain care by focusing on 2 essential skill sets: 1) goal-setting and prioritization, and 2) communication skills.
Primary Outcome
Patient Activation Measure (PAM). Construct: self-management self-efficacy (i.e., patient activation). 13-item patient activation measure assesses patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management. Range 0 (lowest activation) - 100 (highest activation). Higher values are better outcomes.
