Integrating Nonpharmacologic Strategies for Pain With Inclusion, Respect, and Equity

The PEG Pain Screening Tool is a validated, self-reported 3-question survey assessing pain severity, the extent to which pain interferes with enjoyment of life, and the extent to which pain interferes with general activity. Possible scores for each question range from 0 (no pain, no interference) to 10 (worst possible pain, worst possible interference). The average of scores from the three questions yields the PEG score. Change = (PEG score at time point - PEG score at baseline)

The PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 6b is a validated, self-reported 6-question survey assessing someone's ability to do household chores, to go up and down stairs at a normal pace, to go for a 15-minute walk, to run errands or shop, to do more than two hours of physical labor, and to do moderate work around the house. Possible scores for each question range from 1 (unable to do) to 5 (able to do without difficulty). Lower scores are indicative of lower levels of physical functioning. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form 6a is a validated, self-reported 6-question survey assessing quality of sleep. Possible scores for each question range from 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor). A higher score indicates greater sleep disturbance. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Pain Catastrophizing Scale Short Form 6 is a validated, self-reported 6-question survey assessing thoughts and feelings that someone may have about their pain. Possible scores for each question range from 0 (not at all, no catastrophizing thoughts and feelings) to 4 (all the time, constant catastrophizing thoughts and feelings). Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The PHQ-9 is a validated, self-reported 9-question survey assessing common symptoms of depression. Possible scores for each question range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). A higher score indicates a higher likelihood of depression. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The GAD-7 is a validated, self-reported 7-question survey assessing common symptoms of anxiety. Possible scores for each question range from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). A higher score indicates a higher likelihood of general anxiety. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a validated, self-reported 1-question survey assessing how much a patient's pain has improved since the start of treatment. Possible scores range from 0 (very much improved) to 6 (very much worse). Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) is a validated, self-reported 10-question survey assessing common symptoms of alcohol use disorder. Possible scores for each question range from 0 (never) to 4 (4 or more times per week). Scores for each question are added up. A score of 8 or higher is considered to indicate hazardous or harmful alcohol use. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST) is a validated, self-reported 10-question survey assessing risk of drug abuse. Each question is answered with a "yes" or a "no". Answers that indicate possible risk of drug abuse are given a score of 1, while answers that do not indicate possible risk of drug abuse are given a score of 0. The scores for each question are then added together. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Inventory (ISMI) is a validated, self-reported 29-question survey assessing a patient's attitude, beliefs, and behaviors relating to their mental illness. Possible scores range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The scores for each question are added together. A higher score indicates greater internalized stigma of mental illness. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The PROMIS Social Isolation Short Form 8a is a validated, self-reported 8-question survey assessing a the extent to which someone feels isolated socially. Possible scores range from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The scores for each question are added together. A higher score indicates more severe isolation. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Opening Minds Survey for Health Care Providers is a validated, self-reported 20-question survey assessing health care providers' attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives about mental illness. Possible responses to each question are "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neither Agree nor Disagree", "Agree", and "Strongly Agree". No numeric scores are assigned to responses. Changes in responses between each time point and baseline will be evaluated qualitatively.

The Healthcare Relationship Trust Scale is a validated, self-reported 13-question survey assessing how a patient feels about their health care provider. Possible scores range from 0 (none of the time) to 4 (all of the time). The scores for each question are added together. A higher score indicates greater trust of the patient's health care provider. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire Two Item Short Form (PSEQ-2) is a validated, self-reported 2-question survey assessing a patient's ability to live and work despite their pain. Possible scores range from 0 (not at all confident) to 6 (completely confident). The scores for each question are added together. A higher score indicates greater self-efficacy. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)

The Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale is a validated, self-reported 12-question survey assessing how a patient accepts and adapts to a life with chronic pain. Possible scores range from 1 (never true) to 7 (always true). The scores for each question are added together. A higher score indicates greater psychological inflexibility in pain. Change = (score at time point - score at baseline)
