Risk, Resilience, and Recovery in Pediatric Pain (RRR Study)

Researchers at OHSU and Washington State University are collaborating on the Risk, Resilience, and Recovery (RRR) study. The purpose of the RRR Study is to learn more about the impact of social risk and protective factors and their links to physical pain in young people.

Results from this study will help us learn more about the transition from acute to chronic pain in young people and how peer relations influence pain outcomes in childhood. Results will be used to develop interventions to help children recover from acute pain problems.

How will I know if this study is a good fit for me?

• Your child is 11-14 years old
• They recently saw a doctor for a new pain problem (e.g., sports injury, new onset stomach pains, new headaches)
• Additional criteria apply

Here's what you'll do:

• Complete a set of online surveys asking about experiences with pain, mood, health, and social relationships
• Complete an online daily diary once a day for 7 days while wearing a watch-like device that tracks their sleep and physical activity
• All assessments will be repeated at 4 separate time points over a two-year period

Compensation

Participating families can earn up to $680 over 24 months for their time.
