Health Coaches will play an integral role in providing ongoing support for chronic pain patients enrolled in the INSPIRE study. INSPIRE (Integrating Non-pharmacological Strategies for Pain with Inclusion, Respect, and Equity) is an NIH-funded digital health study that delivers a chronic pain intervention for the Black, Chinese, and Latinx communities. The main goal of the INSPIRE project is to help patients with chronic pain learn about "non-pharmacologic options for pain control," meaning ways to control pain without pills. The intervention pairs a smartphone app with a weekly telehealth pain management (health) coach. The health coaches will play a key role in motivating and engaging patients to set and achieve their pain management goals through weekly telehealth sessions primarily over Zoom. Health coaches will be paired with patients to help them navigate and complete 12 weekly, online health modules focused on pain management while tracking and reporting participant progress to researchers. Online modules include mindfulness-based meditation, light physcial therapy or "movement as medicine," and cognitive-behavioral therapy where patients are guided to think about how their thoughts affect their experience of pain. Coaches will also help to recruit and onboard participants from their designated community throughout the two year study. Coaches will receive 4-6 weeks of in depth training in the clinical intervention and the use of the smartphone app followed by ongoing quality assurance booster sessions. Coaches will be supervised by clinical faculty who are co-investigators for the INSPIRE project.
Build a relationship with the patient, maximize cultural sensitivity and connection, reinforce engagement with modules of the INSPIRE mobile application, become familiar with INSPIRE tools and be able to answer questions about them, understand clinical measures and electronic dashboards used in the INSPIRE study, answer basic questions about pain and social resources, assist with basic technical/smartphone/zoom difficulties. ***NOTE: This is a 2-year Contract, 80% (PT), hybrid role.
