This study included a cross sectional survey of the UK population to understand what the beliefs are regarding persistent pain. This survey will be distributed electronically using social media and to a Scottish council. Differences in beliefs will be explored using the demographic data collected.
The second aspect of the study is the evaluation of a public health campaign called 'Flippin Pain'. This study component included the evaluation of online webinars with pre, post, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month longitudinal data collection. One of the online seminars also included the qualitative evaluation using semi structured interviews.
The third part of the study was the evaluation of a community outreach tour in the county of Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. This included the collection of pain belief data before an in person seminar, immediately afterwards, then at 3 months. Semi structured interviews were also conducted with participants who attended the webinars. As part of the outreach tour an interactive pop up tent gave members of the public an understanding of pain using practical demonstrations. The was evaluated using short semi structured interviews along with written summaries offered by the participants before and immediately after experiencing the practical demonstrations.
After the community outreach tour, two focus groups were conducted with the campaign volunteers with an aim to understand the experience of those involved. The focus groups asked the participants to reflect on the successes and challenges of delivering a community based public health outreach tour.
