Examining the Impact of Pain Coping Strategies on Chronic Pain Among Native Americans

This study includes 83 NAs with chronic pain who completed mail-in surveys. Average pain intensity in the past week was assessed from an 11-point numerical rating scale. A 12-item (modified) version of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) assessed pain interference across a variety of daily activities (e.g., mobility, sleep, work) during the previous week.
