Results• Quantitative findings suggest patients:– Reported learning “new and useful” information.– Perceived program as “easy to understand.” – Used learned information. – Recommended program to others.

• 4 thematic maps emerged:– “Most important thing(s) learned.” – “If I could change anything.” – “Barriers in attendance.” – “Most relevant to my pain experience.”
