The module is aimed at researchers, students, clinicians, and educators of all professions who are interested in developing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the prevention of pain chronification programs through the use of pain neuroscience education. Scientists and students who are new to the topic of planning, implementation, and evaluation of interventions in schools are explicitly invited to attend the module.

This presentation will introduce a series of studies that were undertaken to build a pain neuroscience education program for middle school students in the US. It will look at various questions asked within each study and lessons learned to continue to develop the program further through the implementation of evidence-based decisions in the creative process to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the program.
