The value of engaging people with lived experience into chronic pain research is becoming increasingly recognized, yet the perspectives of individuals with chronic pain who have not previously participated in research are underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by assessing the attitudes, preferences, and barriers related to patient engagement among adults living with chronic pain in the United States (US). An online survey was developed in collaboration with an advisory board and community engagement studio and distributed through Qualtrics panels from December 2023-January 2024. Quotas for age, gender, and race were employed to reach a representative sample for each of these variables based on the 2020 US census.
