The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a resilience intervention in Veterans with chronic pain compared to wait list control.
After being consented and screened for eligibility, participants completed baseline assessments and then were randomized to either the study intervention or wait list control. Participants who were randomized to the study intervention completed post testing assessment measures within two weeks of the final treatment. Participants who were randomized to waitlist conditions completed post testing assessment measures within 2 weeks of the end of the waitlist condition and then subsequently received the study intervention.
