Notes. Probable chronic pain was defined as pain on the SF-36 Bodily Pain Intensity item (Question 22) greater than mild (>3/6) in two or more study waves. Physical morbidities included major health conditions from the Charlson Index. Depressive symptoms were measured from the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale. Opioid medications were coded as the number of opioid medications recorded during the medical history interview.
