Research Study on Patient Education for People With Chronic Low Back Pain

This is a pilot single-arm study to examine the potential of personalized patient education materials to improve self-efficacy and perceived functional disability for patients with chronic low back pain (cLBP). The investigators aim to recruit 30 individuals with cLBP. The investigators will aim to recruit 15 individuals from areas with an Area Deprivation Index (ADI) of at least 6 and 15 from areas with an ADI of 5 or lower. Participants will complete a 3-week educational intervention aimed at improving self-efficacy in managing chronic LBP. Educational materials will be personalized for each participant depending upon things like baseline knowledge of cLBP, smoking status, exercise status, beliefs about safe movement with cLBP, preference for various health care interventions, and nature of work (sedentary vs. labor-oriented job). Educational materials will be provided electronically using Qualtrics. Participants will complete outcome measures at baseline and follow-up as described elsewhere in this study record.
