Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if a stepped-care intervention makes pain symptoms
better and reduces activity limitations because of pain. Our two primary hypotheses are that
in OIF/OEF veterans with chronic pain:
1. Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing pain-related disability
2. Stepped care is more effective than usual care in reducing psychological distress
