Brief summary (from the registry)
The overarching goal of this study is to evaluate a tele-based behavioral change intervention for older adults (aged 50 years and older) with chronic low back pain (cLBP) and comorbid depression, and to ultimately assess its effect on cLBP-related disability and depressive symptoms. Investigators will conduct a pilot randomized control trial to assess feasibility for older adults with chronic low back pain and depression to receive a behavioral change tele-based intervention delivered by a health coach trained in motivational interviewing. All participants, regardless of intervention arm assigned, will undergo outcomes assessments (baseline, mid-point, final assessments) conducted by a blinded research assistant.
