Back and Neck Pain
| Started by the UNC School of Public Health, this research study was focused on speaking to households in North Carolina with and without back and neck pain. Researchers want to use this information in order to develop better health care programs for back and neck pain sufferers. The SRU interviewed numerous households with and without back pain, finally getting 9890 completed rosters, which were used for prevalence rate calculations; and 2696 completed interviews with back and neck pain sufferers in the household. Our researchers performed the sampling and weighting for the data, as well as creating SAS data sets for the investigators. | |
