Group II: Waitlist Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
The waitlist control group will continue with management of chronic back pain and depression per usual care. All participants, regardless of what group they have been assigned to will undergo several outcome assessments (pre-screening, baseline, mid-point, final assessments) conducted by a blinded research assistant.
