NOFO Title: HEAL Initiative: Advancing Health Equity in Pain Management (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Required)
NOFO Number: NS22-002
Summary:

Both pain experience and treatment response are determined by a variety of factors, including race and ethnicity. Inequities in access to healthcare and pain treatment affect patients from minority populations, such as Hispanic/Latino populations of all age groups. This study will develop and test an online intervention—Web-based Tailored Intervention for Preparation of Parents and Children for Outpatient Surgery (L-WebTIPS)—tailored for Latino families of children having outpatient surgeries. The intervention aims to lower child and family anxiety before surgery as well as to reduce post-surgical pain by enhancing parent self-efficacy and behavioral pain coping strategies. After an exploratory phase to assess usability and acceptability of the intervention, the study will evaluate the impact of L-WebTIPS on child pre-surgery anxiety and post-surgery pain as well assess other child and parent outcomes.
