The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center $715,543 on September 1, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to develop and test the feasibility of a mobile health intervention for chronic pain management tailored specifically to Native American communities. The project will develop the first mHealth chronic pain intervention designed for Native Americans, integrating psychological pain science with indigenous knowledge. Work includes co-developing and testing the intervention through a community-engaged framework guided by Native American team members, individuals with chronic pain, community advisory boards, tribal partners, and tribal institutional review boards to ensure cultural relevance and scientific integrity. The research addresses a critical health disparity: longitudinal data show 28 percent of pain-free Native Americans develop chronic pain within five years, compared to 12 percent of non-Hispanic whites. The intervention targets identified predictors of chronic pain in this population, including sensitized pain pathways linked to social determinants of health, stress, sleep disturbance, and cognitive-emotional amplifiers such as catastrophizing and pain-related anxiety. The research team brings expertise in Native American pain and health, psychological treatments for pain, and mHealth app innovation. The award funds development activities including talking circles with Native Americans experiencing chronic pain, guided by Native American team members, to inform intervention design. Place of performance is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The period of performance runs through March 31, 2031.
