Purpose

Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) offer a framework for delivering personalized behavioral support using time-varying data to optimize the timing and type of intervention content. This project will develop the foundational components of a JITAI tailored to adults with chronic pain and either MS or SCI by drawing on symptom self-management content from existing programs (PainGuide, MyMSToolkit, and MySCIToolkit). Intervention content and delivery parameters will be refined through stakeholder engagement via structured interviews to ensure relevance, acceptability, and feasibility.

Interviews This study will utilize a community engaged research approach to facilitate collaboration between participants and researchers in developing JITAI content to support pain self-management. Participants will have been formally diagnosed with either multiple sclerosis (MS) and/or spinal cord injury (SCI). Participants will review proposed JITAI content and provide feedback only to the study team.
  • Other: Push Notification Content
    This project will develop the foundational components of a JITAI (push notification content) tailored to adults with chronic pain and either MS or SCI by drawing on symptom self-management content from existing programs (PainGuide, MyMSToolkit, and MySCIToolkit). Intervention content and delivery parameters will be refined through stakeholder engagement via structured interviews with participants to ensure relevance, acceptability, and feasibility.
