Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this feasibility study, at least 20 and up to 40 Black Adults will be enrolled to receive PMSJ intervention. Participants who will take part in this research study will be in it for about 26 weeks. Participants will receive a one-hour individual session of psychoeducation, mindfulness, and cognitive behavior therapy skills for 10 weeks via a HIPAA-protected zoom video-call or over the telephone. In addition, they will receive a community-based group exercise and pain education program once a week for 10 weeks. Participants will also continue to receive their usual care. Participants will be asked to take surveys at five time points (i.e.) before the start of the 10-week intervention (baseline visit), mid-way through the intervention (week 5), end of the 10-week intervention (post-intervention), 6 weeks after the intervention (week 16) and 12 weeks after the intervention (week 22). Brief surveys will also be completed weekly throughout the study. The surveys will be about pain, function, quality of life, mood, social support, sleep, etc. At baseline and post-intervention visits, all participants will also be asked to wear a small movement sensor on their lower back for 7 days of continuous movement and physical activity monitoring. During both of these 7-day periods, participants will complete a single remote assessment of their walking. Feasibility of the intervention will be determined post-intervention by outcome measures such as recruitment rate, retention rate, and adherence.
