M2VA Pain Care Pathway for Veterans with Pain and Substance Use
This study is testing the M2VA Pain Care Pathway (M2VAPCP), a behavioral intervention based on Motivational Interviewing, designed to help Veterans manage pain and reduce substance misuse. It also looks at how best to train case managers to use M2VAPCP. The study aims to see if adding "implementation facilitation" (extra support for trainers) helps more Veterans receive M2VAPCP and improves their pain, enjoyment of life, and general activity. You might be able to join if you are a Veteran who recently ended military service, have filed a service-connection claim for certain conditions (like back or knee pain), and live near a participating site. The study plans to enroll 1800 participants.

Three questions about the past week's pain. One question asks about pain severity and two questions ask about pain interference. Each item is rated on a 0-10 Likert scale. Responses are added together and divided by three to get a final score out of 10. A higher score indicates more severe pain and pain-related interference with life and activities.
