Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Relief-HybridExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Relief-Hybrid relies on a neurobiological model to simplify its behavioral targets and uses mobile technology to augment its interventions. Relief was co-developed with our primary care partners with the goal to be usable by non-physician clinicians of primary care offices eligible to provide billable services.
Group II: Referral to Mental Health/Usual CareActive Control1 Intervention
Continuation of medical attention and treatment provided by physicians and other medical professionals at the primary care practice. Referral for mental health based on clinical indication. Participants receive an educational booklet on pain.
