January 18, 2023
Webinar description:
Over the past 25 years, much has been learned about how people deal with arthritis pain. This presentation is divided into two sections. The first section summarizes the current state of knowledge about pain coping in arthritis including key concepts, measurement approaches, and strategies for enhancing pain coping. The second section highlights important future needs in this area, e.g. the role that mobile devices can play in: a) tracking pain coping in efforts in real time and, b) delivering novel, brief interventions.
