A Multisite Implementation of the Comfort Ability Program Telehealth Intervention for Pediatric Chronic Pain
The CAP intervention can be delivered through telehealth with rates of acceptability and feasibility that are analogous to the in-person intervention. Cross-site and aggregate participant responses from this investigation helped to further refine virtual intervention content and structure. Overall, findings from this study support the maintenance and expansion of access to telehealth care-specifically for specialized behavioral health interventions that may be difficult to access-by demonstrating high rates of patient participation, satisfaction with intervention and technology, and successful attainment of intervention goals as rated by patients and providers. Additional research is needed to assess long-term clinical outcomes.
