Youth between the ages of 9-17 with a history of chronic pain (pain lasting for 3+ months) and |
What Happens |
Your child will be asked to answer some brief questionnaires about how they think about pain, their engagement in various activities, their mood/worries, and their day-to-day functioning. |
What We're Studying |
This study seeks to (1) evaluate the potential association between pain-related stigma and psychological stress in youth with chronic pain and (2) examine how these constructs may relate to overall psychosocial (e.g., symptoms of anxiety, depression) and pain-related (e.g., pain intensity, functional disability) functioning and treatment engagement in these youth. |
