Summary

This pilot study tested a program called DAPPER for African American women aged 50 and older who have pain, depressive symptoms, and trouble moving around. Participants received 8 nurse visits at home to help manage their pain and mood. The study aimed to see if the program could reduce pain intensity and depression, and also looked at changes in inflammation markers.
