Chronic pain impacts about 20% of US Adults. Though non-pharmacologic, integrative pain management therapies are now considered first-line treatment by clinical guidelines, these therapies are still rarely covered by health insurance and therefore inaccessible to lower-income individuals. The Integrative Medical Group Visit (IMGV) program was developed to offer low-income, diverse patients with chronic pain an introduction to integrative pain management approaches, through a model that is covered by health insurance under existing billing codes. An initial pragmatic randomized control trial found that IMGV led to significant improvement in mental health related quality of life and lower use of high-cost care. However, there has been little research investigating the implementation of IMGV, and none in Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), where the program was initially designed to be implemented. In this study, the investigators test strategies to implement IMGV in FQHCs, including training and coaching clinic staff, and measure the effectiveness of the IMGV on health outcomes for patients with chronic pain.

| Integrative Medicine Group Visit | Behavioral | Integrative Medicine Group Visit (IMGV) is a 9-week group visit series co-facilitated by a billing primary care provider and a trained co-facilitator (such as a behavioral health provider, mindfulness instructor, or yoga teacher). The IMGV will be delivered virtually over a secure telehealth platform for 2 hours weekly. The IMGV curriculum focuses on principles of mindfulness-based stress reduction, and includes patient education on pain, insomnia, nutrition, yoga, depression, self-massage, and self-acupressure. |

| Change in Physical Function | Patient report of physical function will be measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Item Bank v2.0 Physical Function Short Form 4-a. This includes 4 questions assessing chores, ability to use stairs, walking, and running errands on a 5-point scale with end points of "without any difficulty" and "unable to do."

| Implementation Strategies | Other | Package includes:
|
|
|
| Acceptability: Clinic Personnel | Number of clinic personnel who perceive the implementation of IMGV to be acceptable based on qualitative data analysis. | within 1 month of final IMGV session participation, approximately 10 weeks |
| Cost: Patient Perspective | Total cost of participation in the IMGV from the perspective of patients (ie total cost of time, accessing technology, childcare, out-of-pocket costs). | within 1 month of final IMGV session participation, approximately 10 weeks |
| Cost: Clinic Perspective | Total cost of implementation in the IMGV from the perspective of the clinic (ie total cost of staff time to implement the program, material costs). | within 1 month of final IMGV session participation, approximately 10 weeks |
| Fidelity | Score on the Integrative Medical Group Visit (IMGV) Fidelity rating scale, measuring the extent to which core functions of the IMGV were delivered as intended by the clinic personnel. The scale includes 5 questions using a 0-3 point scale. Questions measure the constructs: fostering a safe and positive environment, fostering social support through the group, providing evidence-based medical advice, fostering collaboration, and providing access to integrative therapy experiential practice. Total range is from 0-15 with 0 representing the lowest and 15 representing the highest possible fidelity. | Through completion of IMGV delivery, a total of up to two years |
| Maintenance: 6 months | Number of IMGV sessions held at the clinic at 6 months since the first IMGV session at that clinic. | Six months after the first IMGV session at clinic |
| Maintenance: 12 months | Number of IMGV sessions held at the clinic at 12 months since the first IMGV session at that clinic. | Twelve months after the first IMGV session at clinic |
