Culturally Adapted Pain Management for Indigenous Peoples in the Pacific Northwest (CAP-I)
The proposed study involves a randomized feasibility pilot trial of a culturally adapted psychological intervention for chronic pain for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals receiving care for pain at the Portland Area Indian Health Service - Yakama Service Unit. The study will provide information on whether or not it is feasible to conduct a future fully-powered randomized controlled trial.
