Journal Article
Hill, J. (2018). Testing a Model of Consultation-based Reassurance and Back Pain Outcomes with Psychological Risk as Moderator: A Prospective Cohort Study. Clinical Journal of Pain, 339-348. https://doi.org/10.1097/AJP.0000000000000541

Objectives:Reassurance is an essential part of treatment for low back pain (LBP), but evidence on effective methods to deliver reassurance remains scarce. The interaction between consultation-based reassurance and patients' psychological risk is unkn...

Determining the impact of a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for back pain: protocol for a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article
Hill, J. (2017). Determining the impact of a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for back pain: protocol for a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial. Trials, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-017-2279-7

Background
Back pain is a leading contributor to disability, healthcare costs, and lost work. Family physicians are the most common first point of contact in the healthcare system for people with back pain, but physiotherapists (PTs) may be able to...
