Summary

To maximize implementation potential of pain self-management in the VA, alternative delivery methods are needed to provide Veterans with education and support needed to self-manage their pain, without requiring additional resources from healthcare teams. A novel and promising approach is a peer coaching model, in which Veterans with chronic pain who are successfully managing their pain offer information, support, and mentorship to other Veterans with pain.
