Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Culturally appropriate low back pain information presented as audiovisual scenarios. There are five scenarios, each 3-7 minutes long. they will be administered on a laptop computer, ipad or played on a TV screen.
This is a crossover trial - participants will be randomised to intervention/control group and crossover after post intervention testing (time 1). Washout period will be minimal - 15 minutes.

Other interventions
Comparator / control treatment
Traditional form of low back pain information - 'The Back Book'. The Back Book is a 23 page consumer information resource. It contains evidence based information about low back pain. It differs from the intervention in mode of delivery (brochure versus audiovisual) and style (the Back Book is information/fact based rather than presenting as an enacted scenario).

Summary
Brief summary
Best practice management of low back pain (LBP) includes providing information that addresses misperceptions about LBP and encourages self-management. To date no LBP information has been developed for Aboriginal people. Our aim is to develop and evaluate LBP information tailored to meet the needs of Aboriginal people. We hypothesise that tailored information will improve the LBP beliefs and self-efficacy, and will be viewed more positively than a traditional form of LBP information recommended by guidelines.
