Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
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.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Able to read and converse fluently in English * Multiple sclerosis (MS) or Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) diagnosis * Chronic pain ( ≥ 4 on average using a 0-10 NRS for 3-month duration) * Access to an internet connected device with a camera and microphone for participating in virtual interview/focus group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Preference | 1 day | Participant preferences for the JITAI push notification content and delivery assessed via interviews. The primary outcome will be assessed with qualitative data analyses, which will be used to inform push notification content for a JITAI to support chronic pain self-management in adults with MS and adults with SCI. |
