Study Summary
The goal of this study is to determine whether community health workers (CHWs)-i.e., lay health workers with close ties to the communities they serve - can effectively teach cognitive-behavioral pain management strategies to older adults in a disadvantaged urban setting. Specific aims are: to test, in a sample of 414 primarily African American older adults, whether the STEPS pain self-management intervention, delivered over 7 weeks through telephone sessions with a CHW and mobile health tools, improves pain outcomes at 2 and 12 months compared to a usual care control group. We will also assess the mechanisms by which the intervention may bring about positive changes in pain outcomes. We will use mixed quantitative and qualitative methods to assess participant engagement and satisfaction, and factors affecting implementation.
Primary Outcome
The Pain Interference 6-item subscale of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-43 Adult Profile. Items ask how much pain in the last 7 days has interfered with daily activities such as household chores and social activities (1=not at all to 5=very much); raw total scale scores range from 6 (low interference) to 30 (high interference). When converted to T-scores (normed such that a score of 50 is the population mean and 10 T-score points=1 standard deviation), the
