Abstract

We explored the effect of chronic pain and resilience on mental health in college students.  Among the 72 participants (82% female; 49% White) chronic pain and resilience exhibited main effects on perceived stress, depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms.  Mental health interventions should focus on both resilience-building and physical health concerns.
