About this study
The Beat Pain Better study examines strategies to increase the reach of evidence-based interventions for persons with osteoarthritis (OA) in communities that experience disparities. The study is a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-imple-mentation trial using sequential, multiple assignment, ran¬domi¬zation to evaluate 1) two text mes¬saging strat¬egies to reach persons with OA and enroll them in physical activity counseling provided by physical therapists; and 2) two strat¬egies to engage enrolled persons in the Walk with Ease (WWE) intervention for sustained self-management.
