Back Beliefs Among the General Population

In the current study we aim to evaluate the effects of a short educational video on improving the belief that "the back is fragile and needs to be protected" among the German speaking Swiss general population. We hypothesize that a short video education program can positively change the assessed back belief among the German speaking general population of Switzerland. To evaluate the outcomes, we will use the 10-item version of the Back Pain Attitude Questionnaire (Back-PAQ). The primary outcome is the second question of the Back-PAQ-10 ("You could injure your back if you are not careful"). The secondary outcome of this study is the total score of the Back-PAQ-10. The design of the present study is a two-group randomized controlled trial, with one intervention and one control group in a 1:1 allocation.
