The aim of this study is to better understand how the well-being paradox (i.e., experiencing mental wellness while also experiencing physical illness) applies to older adults living with chronic pain in Canada. These findings could potentially influence the ways in which well-being in old age patients with chronic pain is studied and improved.

This survey for chronic pain, should take you no longer than 30 minutes to complete. Please note that the survey must be completed in one sitting or be reopened in the same browser to make sure no data is lost. You can choose to answer only those questions that you are comfortable answering by selecting the “Prefer not to answer” option. You may withdraw from the study for any reason without a need for explanation and without penalty of any sort. If you wish to withdraw from completing the survey, please click the “End Survey” button at the bottom of the survey.

You can use your first name and email address to be entered into a draw for a chance to win 1 of 5 gift cards of $50.

Results of this study will be available by the end of August 31 2023. If you would like to receive a summary of these results, you may request a copy of the results from the Researcher or Supervisor.
