Summary

This study will test the newly-developed My spinal cord injury (SCI) Toolkit program in two formats - unguided use of the program and use supported by a coach. These two active treatment formats will be compared to treatment as usual (waitlist control) in adults with chronic pain and SCI. Hypotheses include: * Treatment adherence, participant satisfaction, and perception of positive change will be high and drop-out rates low for both treatments but will be better in the coached compared to the unguided arm * In terms of pre- to post-treatment changes in pain interference, coached My SCI Toolkit program will be superior to treatment as usual

Detailed description

All participants will also be asked to complete online surveys at baseline (before being randomized to a group), half-way through the 8-week study period, and after the 8-week study period is over. The surveys are online and can be completed from home. Participants in the unguided and coached programs will also be asked to complete a weekly online survey asking about use of the website in the past week, taking approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Unguided use of the My SCI Toolkit program	Participants will be asked to use the My SCI Toolkit program for 8 weeks (without a coach), following the prompts and guides built into the program.
BEHAVIORAL	Coached My SCI Toolkit	Participants will be asked to use the My SCI Toolkit program for 8 weeks, following the prompts and guides built into the program. Participants will also have weekly phone calls (the first is about 30-45 minutes, and the rest are about 15 minutes) with a study coach. The coach can help answer questions and tailor the skills more to the participant's goals and needs. The coaching sessions will be audio recording for fidelity purposes.
