Thank you for your interest in sharing your story!

Partners4Pain is a community engaged research project. This means that researchers and community members work together to do the research.

We really appreciate your interest in partnering with us. Community stakeholders like you have an important role to play in creating new ways to tackle pain.

This work is part of a research study, the Partners4Pain project. You must be at least 18 years of age to take part. We are especially interested in hearing from people with back or neck pain who have experienced barriers to pain care. This includes Black, Indigenous or People of Color, or those who have access to less financial resources.

Please review the following to make sure this is something you would like to participate in. If it is, we have a few questions for you to answer. We will then contact you when we have openings for sharing your story. Projects like this take a lot of work to get started so we appreciate your patience while we get it ready. In the meantime, you can visit the Partners4Pain website at partners4pain.org, and also sign up for the P4P Newsletter. Thanks again...we look forward to working with you!

The researchers leading this project are Roni Evans, DC, MS, PhD and Brent Leininger, DC, MS, PhD from the Integrative Health & Wellbeing Research Program, University of Minnesota. They are partnering with a team of community members and leaders, health care providers, and other researchers to address pain related disparities.

What participants will be expected to do:

We are asking individuals from local communities to share their experiences and opinions with our team of researchers and community partners.

Ways to share information: There are different ways to share information including print or electronic surveys and in meetings and interviews (individually or in groups).

Types of information being asked about:

Things that make managing back and neck pain harder or easier
Ideas for the types of things they would like to see in pain management programs
Types of things that make it harder or easier for people to participate in pain management programs
Thoughts about different pain management resources
Things that make it harder or easier for people to take part in research
Ideas for making research more accessible, equitable or culturally appropriate

Risks: The information gathered is not expected to put individuals at risk. Participation is voluntary and participants are free to not answer questions they feel are uncomfortable.

Questions or concerns? You can contact the researchers leading the study at 612-626-6477 or at partners4pain@umn.edu. You can also share feedback privately with the University of Minnesota Human Research Protection Program at 612-625-1650 (Toll Free: 1-888-224-8636) or go to https://z.umn.edu/Feedback-Form

Funding for this research is provided by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health through the National Institutes of Health's Helping End Addiction Long Term (HEAL) Initiative (1R61AT012309)
