Study Summary

Chronic low back pain is the #1 cause of disability and low quality of life in Veterans. Pain is a huge burden- stealing enjoyment, fulfillment, and time. Sometimes surgery, injections, or medications can help but sometimes not. Although no one solution fixes chronic low back pain, there are many treatments that can reduce pain impact and restore quality of life. These treatments involve: movement, psychology, mind-and-body therapies, sleep, and environmental factors. The challenge is how to best coordinate these treatments for chronic low back pain. The investigators have built a prototype mobile application that delivers the latest information to Veterans so they can work with healthcare providers to build their own pain self-management plans. With this new tool, the Veteran has data at hand and chooses their preferred pain self-management activities, making a coordinated plan that can be shared with their healthcare team. The investigators' goal is giving Veterans the knowledge and power to 'plan the work and work the plan' for chronic low back pain: restoring value, fulfillment, and meaning.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will assess user experience with the App, assessing actual use to create a pain self-management plan. Investigators will assess whether participants used the App to create a pain self-management plan on the tablet. The outcome will be the number of participants creating at least one pain self-management plan
