costs associated with it in an academic hospital outpatient setting. The investigators will
conduct a prospective observational cohort study to assess the clinical outcomes and
utilization of health care services of 150 Osher Clinical Center (OCC) patients with chronic
low back pain (CLBP) compared with a comparison group of 150 non-OCC CLBP patients treated
within Brigham and Women's Hospital. Outcomes will include assessment of functional status,
symptom relief, satisfaction with care, health-related quality of life, and worker
productivity, and will be measured in person at baseline, and by phone by an interviewer
blinded to cohort group at 3, 6, and 12 months.
