Abstract

In this study of 154 community-dwelling older adults with chronic non-cancer pain, we sought to assess participants' beliefs about pain as well as pain management treatments and determined the influence of those beliefs on participants' willingness to undertake three physician-recommended pain treatments, i.e., a pharmacologic, physical, and psychological therapy.
