Summary

This study will test two different doses of a psychoeducational intervention to improve cancer pain management. In addition, the study will determine if the changes in pain management behaviors that the patients and family caregivers learn continue to be used when the intervention stops. It is hypothesized that patients and family caregivers who receive the high dose intervention will have a greater decrease in pain intensity scores.
