Roadmap to the 'Chronic Pain GPS for Adolescents' Intervention: Content and Design Considerations for a Group Peer Support Intervention.

Abstract

A biopsychosocial approach to understand and treat pain is crucial; however, there are limited socially-targeted interventions for adolescents with chronic pain. Peer support interventions implemented with other populations are associated with positive outcomes. Adolescents with chronic pain perceive peer support to have high potential value. This study explored the preferences of adolescents with chronic pain regarding the content and design of a group peer support intervention.
