Work Supports Study

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about how workers in low-wage jobs get support at work, especially when they have pain. Some workers with pain may qualify for work accommodations-changes to their job or schedule that help them keep working. But not everyone who qualifies actually gets these changes, and we don't always know why. This study looks at things that might affect whether someone gets a work accommodation. These include personal factors like knowing your rights or being afraid of being treated differently, as well as job-related factors like how demanding the job is or how supportive a supervisor is.
