Summary

Chronic pain and depression frequently co-exist in late and mid-life and contribute to increased disability, high health care costs, psychiatric comorbidity, and suicide. Older and middle-aged depressed-pain patients: a) are mainly treated in primary care practices; and b) are often prescribed medication, which increases the risk for addiction to opioids and benzodiazepines. Despite the need and desire by the patients and providers for primary care behavioral intervention, behavioral interventions are scarce in primary care. To address this need, Relief-Hybrid was created. Subjects are randomized to either the Relief-Hybrid intervention or to Referral to Mental Health/Usual Care. Subjects in both arms will complete research assessments at 6, 9, and 12 weeks. Subjects in the Relief-Hybrid arm will receive 5 weekly sessions with the study therapist (licensed social workers, LCSWs) and 4 self-administered, mobile technology-assisted sessions.
