Summary

This study tests a new program called PREP-Y, designed to help adolescents aged 12-17 with chronic musculoskeletal pain become more physically active and better manage their pain. The program includes four weekly virtual sessions teaching resilience skills like motivation and coping. Researchers will measure whether the program is practical and helpful, with the goal of planning a larger future study.
