| Abstract/Notes | Objective: Chronic low back pain is prevalent among military veterans. However, few veterans report being satisfied with their chronic pain care, and studies assessing veterans’ treatment preferences for managing chronic back pain are lacking. The purpose of our study is to examine Canadian military veterans’ use and preferences toward specific health care disciplines and treatment approaches for the management of chronic low back pain. Methods: We will administer a 33-item mixed-methods cross-sectional survey to all 1,681 Canadian Armed Forces veterans that have signed up to support chronic pain research with the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans. Our survey will inquire about demographic variables, military and chronic low back pain-related characteristics, and veterans’ experiences and attitudes toward health care providers and therapeutic approaches for chronic low back pain. We will use descriptive statistics to analyze our quantitative survey data and thematic analysis for our qualitative (open-text) data. Both datasets will be integrated using a mixed methods approach. Our study will be reported in accordance with the Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies (CROSS) and the Good Reporting of A Mixed Methods Study (GRAMMS) guidelines. Discussion: The Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board at McMaster University waived an ethics review of our survey based on its research development nature. Dissemination of our results will occur via a peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations. Our findings will inform the design of future studies to optimize low back pain services to veterans and military personnel.
