Results are reported as mean (standard deviation) values at baseline (T1) and at the 9 week follow-up (T2) for each race/ethnicity group and for the entire sample (N=69). Change (Δ) scores represent either an increase or a decrease in score from baseline to follow-up. Negative change scores for the back pain-related disability (Roland Morris), pain intensity, and depressive symptom (PHQ-9) measures reflect improved outcomes. Positive change scores for the remaining measures indicate improved outcomes. All results are adjusted for patient age, sex, education, total number of co-morbidities, and the number of pain co-therapies employed at baseline.
