Tele-Collaborative Outreach to Rural Patients with Chronic Pain

Description

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of a remotely delivered collaborative care intervention for chronic pain versus a minimally enhanced control group. The specific aims of the study are: (1) compare the effectiveness of tele-collaborative pain care vs. minimally enhanced usual care to improve pain interference over 12 months of follow-up, and (2) oversample women and rural veterans of minoritized race/ethnicity to test heterogeneity of treatment effects across birth sex and race/ethnicity.
