Stepped care group Stepped Care: Stepped care will consist of 12 weeks of antidepressant therapy, followed by a pain self-management program (PSMP) in those who fail to achieve both a good pain and global clinical response to antidepressant therapy. Treatment will be delivered by a nurse depression-pain clinical specialist (DPCS) who will be trained in providing both components of the stepped care treatment. The DPCS will meet weekly with a physician-investigator to review cases, the physician-investigator will be available at all times to discuss any management issues that arise between the weekly case meetings. All participants will have six clinical contacts with the DPCS during the acute treatment phase and two clinical contacts during the continuation phase to assess medication adherence, adverse effects, and depression response Antidepressants: Participants will be assigned to one of the following antidepressant regimens: venlafaxine (37.5 mg, increased to 75, 150, 225 mg |
Treatment as usual group Usual Care: This group will receive care as usual from their providers and completes the same outcome assessments as the stepped care group. |

1.8 (0.7) | 1.9 (0.6) | 0.7 (0.5) | 1.3 (0.8) | ||
[1]
Measure Description: This scale consists of 20 items, each scored from 0 (lowest) to 4 (highest or worst). The scale score is the average of the 20 items. Therefore, the HSCL-20 depression severity score can range from 0 (no depression) to 4 (highest or worst depression)

[1]
Measure Description: The BPI severity scale is a 4-item scale with each item scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). The scale score is the average of the 4 items and thus can range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst or more severe pain)

Measure Description: The BPI interference scale consists of 7 items, each scored from 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference), and the total score is the average of the 7 individual item scores. Therefore, the BPI interference score can range from 0 (lowest pain) to 10 (worst or highest pain).
