Predictors of attrition in an interdisciplinary pain management program.
Conclusions/Implications: Because findings are limited by sample and design characteristics, they require replication yet offer novel hypotheses for identifying patients at risk of attrition. Specifically, patients with preintervention opioid use (contrasted with opioid dependence) may particularly benefit from an IPP. Patients at highest risk for early dropout can be targeted for specific engagement interventions to promote completion and effectiveness of IPP.

Illness intrusiveness: A key part of the cognition-mood link in multiple sclerosis.
Conclusions: Illness intrusiveness was found to be a potential important intermediary mechanism by which the primary cognitive impairment in MS, processing speed, impacts mood in this disease population. Conclusions, treatment implications, and directions for future research in light of these findings were discussed.

Perspectives about COVID-19 vaccine boosters among the U.S. paralysis community.
Conclusions: Although PWD shared concerns with the FS group, distrust is a larger issue and concerns unique to PWD that must be considered in public health efforts to ensure that the paralysis community is treated equitably.

What factors are associated with resilience in persons with multiple sclerosis? The role of personality traits.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 67(4), Nov 2022, 575-581; doi:10.1037/rep0000468Purpose/Objective: While personality traits have been well-documented to be related to resilience in several populations, they have yet to be explored in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). As such, this study aimed to understand how personality traits are associated with MS-related resilience after considering the independent contributions of self-efficacy, a significant component of the biopsychosocial model of resilience in MS, and demographic and disease characteristics. Research Method/Design: Participants (N = 112) were PwMS who complet...

Exploring racial performance disparities with the Modified Mini-Mental State Exam (3MS) in an acute brain injury rehabilitation setting.
Conclusions/Implications: These findings underscore a point of caution about interpreting the results of a cognitive screening measure like the 3MS without the context of an individual’s neurological history and race. Black individuals might be at risk for being inappropriately screened to be cognitively impaired, and some level of racial sensitivity should be taken at the item level for repetition and comprehension constructs.

Association between Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) processes and depressive symptoms and pain interference in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 67(4), Nov 2022, 602-609; doi:10.1037/rep0000466Purpose/Objective: To explore the extent to which Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) core processes are related to depressive symptoms and pain interference in a sample of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Research Method/Design: 159 individuals with an SCI completed self-report surveys of 6 core processes of ACT and of 2 quality-of-life indicators (Spinal Cord Injury-Quality of Life [SCI-QOL] Depressive Symptoms and Pain Interference). Hierarchical linear regressions were used to analyze the amount of variance in depressive sympto...

Usability and validity of a virtual reality cognitive assessment tool for pediatric traumatic brain injury.
Conclusions/Implications: The present study is among the first to evaluate the applicability of an immersive VR-CAT in children with TBI. The findings support high usability, adequate psychometric properties, and satisfactory clinical utility of the VR-CAT, suggesting it is a promising tool for assessing executive functions in this vulnerable population.
