About This Chronic Pain Study in Ann Arbor

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new community health worker-delivered program (Strengthening COnnections to Overcome Pain, or SCOOP) that teaches strategies for managing chronic pain and loneliness to older adults living in rural areas. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participating in SCOOP result in less pain interference with daily life? 2. Does participating in SCOOP result in decreased loneliness? 3. What is the level of participant engagement in SCOOP? Researchers will compare people who have participated in SCOOP with people who have not participated in SCOOP to see if SCOOP is helpful in decreasing pain interference and loneliness. Participants will: 1. Watch brief videos teaching strategies to manage pain and boost social connections. 2. Engage in up to 7 weekly coaching sessions with a community health worker. 3. Complete two telephone interviews about health, mental health, and functioning: one at baseline, and one 2 months later.
