Turner BJ, et al. - Based on the input of rural, largely Hispanic persons with chronic pain, researchers developed a low literacy, 6-month self-management program drawing upon elements of existing pain toolkits. They evaluated the program in a randomized trial including low-income, primarily Hispanic patients with chronic pain. The patients received the program in 6 one-on-one meetings with a trained health educator in clinic or in 8 group lectures by experts in the community. Observations revealed similar improvements among primarily Hispanic participants irrespective of receiving the intervention delivered by a health educator or in groups with lectures from experts.
