Study Details

Barriers to Low Back Pain Healthcare for People who are Underserved

(IRB#: IRB_00156672)

Low back pain can require imaging (taking a picture) and other medical needs of the lumbar, (lower part of the back). People may have issues attending appointments for their lower back pain. These include language and translation services and lack of health insurance. The study wants to learn how to better help people attend their appointments for low back pain. Being in the study requires completing a survey. The questions may ask about needing an interpreter, health insurance, childcare, or transportation. People who need health insurance or an interpreter will be given help to attend the appointment. The study team will gather data to learn how to better help participants attend doctor appointments. Information collected will not identify the persons name, address, or phone number.
