HEalth literacy in Low back Pain – the HELP! media intervention study

The HELP study explores a creative approach to enhance public awareness of LBP management while assessing beliefs and attitudes about LBP.

The Principal Investigator of the study is Professor Manuela Ferreira - Professor of Musculoskeletal Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney Musculoskeletal Health, The Kolling Institute, School of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney.

We would like to better understand the beliefs and attitudes of people toward LBP management, and whether we can change them.
