About this trial
Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) offer a framework for delivering personalized behavioral support using time-varying data to optimize the timing and type of intervention content. This project will develop the foundational components of a JITAI tailored to adults with chronic pain and either MS or SCI by drawing on symptom self-management content from existing programs (PainGuide, MyMSToolkit, and MySCIToolkit). Intervention content and delivery parameters will be refined through stakeholder engagement via structured interviews to ensure relevance, acceptability, and feasibility.

Push Notification Content
Other interventionThis project will develop the foundational components of a JITAI (push notification content) tailored to adults with chronic pain and either MS or SCI by drawing on symptom self-management content from existing programs (PainGuide, MyMSToolkit, and MySCIToolkit). Intervention content and delivery parameters will be refined through stakeholder engagement via structured interviews with participants to ensure relevance, acceptability, and feasibility.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Preference
Participant preferences for the JITAI push notification content and delivery assessed via interviews. The primary outcome will be assessed with qualitative data analyses, which will be used to inform push notification content for a JITAI to support chronic pain self-management in adults with MS and adults with SCI.
