Summary

Pediatric chronic pain is a prevalent condition with manifold treatment options. However, knowledge of targeted dissemination of intervention research findings is currently lacking. The aim of this project is to determine satisfaction with current knowledge transfer from science to clinical practice amongst health care professionals, adolescents with CPP and their parents and to understand what treatment options have been offered to patients in Swiss pain centers Three focus groups, one with health care professionals, one with adolescent patients, and one with their parents, will be conducted to determine how the dissemination of scientific evidence to clinical practice can be improved and what hurdles exists when gathering information about pain interventions. In addition, patients will be asked about the treatment options offered to them and health care professionals about which treatments they routinely prescribe and why.
