Objective. We evaluated exercise interventions for cognitive appraisal of chronic low back pain (cLBP) in an underserved population. Methods. We conducted a secondary analysis of the Back to Health Trial, showing yoga to be noninferior to physical therapy (PT) for pain and function outcomes among adults with cLBP (n = 320) recruited from primary care clinics with predominantly low-income patients. Participants were randomized to 12weeks of yoga, PT, or education. Cognitive appraisal was assessed with the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ). Using multiple imputation and linear regression, we estimated within- and between-group changes in cognitive appraisal at 12 and 52weeks, with baseline and the education group as references. Results. Participants (mean age=46 years) were majority female (64%) and majority Black (57%), and 54% had an annual household income Key Words: Back Pain; Chronic Pain; Yoga; Physical Therapy; Self-Efficacy; Coping Skills
