Participants Needed for a Research Study
Seeking Feedback from Canadian Veterans with Chronic Pain
Co-Adaptation of a Digital Chronic Pain
Self-Management Program for Canadian Veterans
(ADOPT-CanVets Project)
Chronic pain affects up to 50% of Canadian Veterans. Psychology treatments are a proven approach to help manage chronic pain, but Veterans often don't have access to a pain psychologist. Our team developed a new online psychology program that is easy to use and may be helpful for Veterans with chronic pain.
