Full description

GLA:D Back is a program developed in Denmark to help people with persistent low back pain. Unfortunately, all materials developed for the program are in Danish. In this pilot, the investigators will translate the Danish materials into English, then use them to conduct an English training session for community clinicians in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Interested clinicians will then implement the program in their communities and provide feedback to contextualize the program for use in English. Specifically, surveys, interviews and focus groups will be used to help fine-tune the printed content of the course (e.g. manuals), it's training materials (e.g. lectures) and processes related to REDCap data collection (e.g. surveys).
