CIVIC-PG Track B: Equalizing Access to Non-opioid Strategies with Community-embedded Online Pain Management Tools

在疼痛护理方面持续存在的差距是这个项目要解决的问题。我们打算建立一个专家社区团队来创建在线资源，这些资源将免费提供给患有疼痛的人。阿片类药物危机提高了公众对仅依赖阿片类药物缓解疼痛的风险的认识。尽管已经发现在线疼痛管理程序可以改善疼痛，减少阿片类药物的使用和滥用，并增加非阿片类药物疼痛管理选择的使用，但它们并不总是适用于需要帮助的人。需要更多的关注创建所有人都可以访问的程序。该项目将包括医疗保健提供者和公众的投入，为疼痛患者创造资源。这项工作的目的是促进利用技术协助解决公共卫生问题的科学。最终目标是创建一个最新的，可访问的程序，将改善疼痛护理结果。该项目还将研究保持在线疼痛程序更新和最新的新方法，注意到技术维护成本是一个障碍。该项目希望我们的项目能够改善人们的疼痛护理，并有可能减少因疼痛管理不善而导致的问题，如自杀、阿片类药物滥用或过量服用。创建一个成功的开放获取模式可能会导致一种创新，这种创新可以很容易地复制并在其他社区广泛分享。这个第一阶段计划拨款的目标是建立一个社区合作者网络，共同努力实现改善疼痛管理结果的共同目标。该项目将首先巩固一个顾问委员会来指导项目的各个方面。然后，我们将寻求疼痛患者、医疗保健提供者和社区成员对在线疼痛管理资源套件（电子健康）所需功能和内容的输入。该项目将使用调查和焦点小组的方法来收集不同的反馈。技术工具经常被创造出来，但在临床环境中维护和嵌入它们的资源往往不足。因此，该项目还将在我们的数据收集阶段调查在线资源持续可持续性的选择。项目团队将要求咨询委员会在分析后审查收集到的数据摘要。研究小组和咨询委员会将共同起草可在第二阶段项目中充分开发和试点测试的电子保健套件的原型和成本估算。该项目是对公民创新挑战项目（track b）的回应，旨在弥合基本资源与服务和社区需求之间的差距，是国家科学基金会、国土安全部和能源部之间的合作项目。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Persisting gaps in pain care is the problem to be addressed in this project. We intend to build an expert community team to create online resources that will be freely available to aid people with pain. The opioid crisis has heightened public awareness about the risks of relying on opioids alone for pain relief. Despite that online pain management programs have been found to improve pain, reduce opioid use and misuse, and increase use of non-opioid pain management options, they are not always available for people who need the help. More attention is needed to create programs that can be accessed for all. This projet will include input from healthcare providers and the public to create resources for people with pain. The aim with this work is to advance the science on use of technology to assist with a public health problem. The end goal is to create an up-to-date, accessible program that will improve pain care outcomes. The project will also investigate new ways to keep the online pain program updated and current, noting that the cost of technology maintenance is an obstacle. This project expects our project could improve pain care for people and, potentially, result in fewer problems from poorly managed pain, such as suicide, opioid misuse, or overdose. Creation of a successful open-access model could result in an innovation that can be easily replicable and widely shared in other communities.The goal of this Stage 1 planning grant is to build a network of community collaborators to work together towards a shared goal of improving pain management outcomes. This project will first solidify an advisory board to direct all aspects of the project. We will then seek input from people with pain, healthcare providers, and community members on desired features and content of an online suite of pain management resources (E-health). The project will use surveys and focus group methods to collect diverse feedback. Technology tools are often created, but resources to maintain and embed them in clinical settings are often insufficient. Therefore, this project will also investigate options for ongoing sustainability of the online resources during our data gathering stage. The project team will ask the advisory board to review summaries of the gathered data after analysis. Together, the research team and advisory board will draft a prototype and cost estimate for an E-health suite that can be fully developed, and pilot tested in a Stage 2 project.This project is in response to the Civic Innovation Challenge program—Track B. Bridging the gap between essential resources and services & community needs—and is a collaboration between NSF, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Energy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
