Around 1 in 5 injuries develop into chronic pain. Research shows the likelihood is shaped less by the original diagnosis and more by a set of factors present at the time of injury. The checklist looks for these signals so the right participants reach the program early. Step 2 also draws on published research to give you a quick read on how much these factors, together, may raise the chance of the pain sticking around.

High pain & medication use

High stress levels

Poor support network

Money or resource worries

Poor general health & lifestyle

Based on patterns seen in published research, not a diagnosis or a clinical score — it's here to help you prioritise, not to decide eligibility on its own.

This tool is not a substitute for clinical judgement or the mandatory eligibility checklist steps. Weighting overlay has been built from Dunn et al. (2024, PLOS ONE) and Mekonnen et al. (2024, J Occup Rehabil).
