Further investigation is needed to understand HCP' LBP beliefs, preferred management strategies, and sources of beliefs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants were recruited via social media to complete a qualitative cross\u2010sectional online survey. The survey was distributed to assess LBP beliefs in a U.S. and Canadian\u2010based clinician population. Participants answered questions about the cause of LBP, reasons for recurrence or persistence, use of imaging, management strategies, and sources of beliefs. Responses were analysed using an inductive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and sixty three participants were included, reporting multiple causes for LBP. However, many references were anchored to biological problems. When psychological variables were mentioned, it typically involved patient blaming. Like prior research studies, minimal attention was given to societal and environmental influences. Management strategies often aligned with guideline care except for the recommendation of inappropriate imaging and a reliance on passive interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings align with prior research studies on general population beliefs, demonstrating a preference for biological causes of LBP. Further updates are needed for clinical education, while future studies should seek to assess the translation of clinician beliefs into clinical practice and health system constraints.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/msc.1877","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,23]],"date-time":"2024-03-23T15:52:55Z","timestamp":1711209175000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["An exploration of low back pain beliefs held by health care professionals in Northern America"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5224-6959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.
