What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on adult patients with chronic pain who may also have behavioral issues, including sexual or racial harassment directed at pain clinic staff. The study aims to analyze these harassment incidents, their causes, outcomes, and systemic factors to learn important lessons. It highlights the problem that healthcare providers often do not report such harassment by patients. The study observes adult chronic pain patients, collecting data through prospective electronic and clinic diaries. It evaluates incidents of sexual and racial harassment experienced by the clinic staff. Behavioral and supportive therapy is noted as an intervention type, while qualitative details of each incident are studied with care and sensitivity. Participants are monitored over time with data collected on harassment incidents, including the percentage of patients who commit sexual or racial harassment within 12 months. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to understand the events and their impact. Participation includes diary entries and electronic data collection, with a focus on behavioral patterns and outcomes until the study ends in 2025.
