Abstract
Older African American women experience social determinants of health that put them at risk for experiencing comorbid pain and depressive symptoms. The purpose of our study was to tailor a preexisting evidence-based depression intervention to include pain and test it in older African American women. We conducted a randomized waitlist control study with 21 frail or pre-frail, African American women, 50 years of age and older with pain and depressive symptoms. The average age of the participants was 64.8 (SD: 10.5), average pain intensity was 7.0 (SD: 1.9) out of 10, and average PHQ-9 depressive symptoms score was11.9 (SD: 4.0). Effect sizes at 12 weeks post intervention were -1.05 for depressive symptoms indicating a substantial decrease in depressive symptoms. We did not see a significant change in pain intensity but identified changes in pain behavior scores. The women described the intervention as beneficial and provided suggestions for future iterations.
