Closes 31 July 2025
One in five Australians over the age of 45 is living with chronic pain and fewer people are accessing specialised pain management services due to barriers affecting access to such services. This project aims to find out more about the barriers (i.e. what is stopping people from getting to government-based pain management clinics) and facilitators (i.e. what makes it easier for people to get to pain management clinics) that are impacting on engagement with these services. This project will also look into how environmental factors, for example, having an adequate exercise space, may act as a barrier or facilitator to access.
You are being invited to complete an online survey as you are either a person living with chronic pain (diagnosed/self-diagnosed), a carer or family member of someone with chronic pain, or a healthcare provider involved in the care of people with chronic pain. You must be 18 years or older and currently living in Australia to take part in this study.
The study has been approved by the School of Psychology Low-Risk Ethics Subcommittee at the University of Adelaide (H-2025/44).
