Abstract

In the past decade, multi media campaigns have been held in several countries to change the general public's maladaptive beliefs and behaviors about back pain and work disability. In this chapter, we will describe: (1) Previous campaigns and their results; (2) key lessons learned from these campaigns; (3) the key questions remaining; (4) future research and strategies that should be attempted.
