Study Summary
The overarching goal of this study is to develop and evaluate a telephone delivered behavioral change intervention for older Veterans with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and comorbid depression, and to ultimately assess its effect on cLBP-related pain, depressive symptoms, and disability. Investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess feasibility for older Veterans with cLBP and depression assigned to receive the behavioral interventions (n=25) versus waitlist control (n=25). For participants assigned to the intervention arm, trained health coaches will deliver the intervention via telephone. All participants, regardless of what group they have been assigned to will undergo several outcome assessments (pre-screening, baseline, mid-point, final assessments) conducted by a blinded research assistant. Subjects randomized to the waitlist control group will be offered the same intervention once the active intervention group has completed the active sessions and assessments.
