Among older Black individuals, chronic pain co-occurs with depression and early cognitive decline, and these co-morbidities worsen physical function. Addressing chronic pain and its co-morbidities among older Black adults is a public health priority. We utilized the Community Engagement (CE) Studio Toolkit to examine (1) barriers and facilitators to participation in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and (2) perceptions of MBCT skills. We facilitated facilitated CE Studio focus groups among older Black individuals with chronic pain and depression (n = 31 across 6 groups) . We thematically analyzed the CE Studio focus group transcripts using a hybrid deductive–inductive approach. Based on our analyses, five themes emerged about how MBCT should be culturally adapted for the chronic pain, depression, and early cognitive decline needs of older Black individuals. CE Studio members suggested that MBCT (1) address relevant socio-cultural issues; (2) include coping strategies already","cbCaic6Ix9ETLpIe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic6Ix9ETLpIe","pdf",277408,"English","# Background and public health priority\n# Study approach using CE Studio Toolkit\n## Barriers and facilitators to MBCT participation\n## Perceptions of MBCT skills\n# Focus group data and thematic analysis\n## Participants and sessions\n# Key themes for culturally adapting MBCT\n## Socio-cultural relevance and coping strategies","[{\"question\":\"How common is chronic pain among older Black individuals in this work?\",\"answer\":\"The text states that up to 78% of older Black individuals experience chronic musculoskeletal pain.\"},{\"question\":\"What conditions commonly co-occur with chronic pain according to the document?\",\"answer\":\"Chronic pain co-occurs with depression and early cognitive decline, which worsen physical function.\"},{\"question\":\"What method was used to assess barriers and perceptions related to MBCT?\",\"answer\":\"The study used the Community Engagement (CE) Studio Toolkit and facilitated CE Studio focus groups, followed by hybrid deductive–inductive thematic analysis of transcripts.\"}]","CULTURALLY ADAPTING MINDFULNESS BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR THE CHRONIC PAIN RELATED NEEDS OF OLDER BLACK ADULTS | PDF",1790630358]
