Attrition From Pediatric Interdisciplinary Chronic Pain Clinics

Identifying patients at preintervention screening with longer pain duration, older in age, and from families with greater reported caregiver burden and providing tailored supports may minimize attrition, therefore optimizing efficiency of service provision.
