Statement of Need

Quality of life (QoL) depends greatly on adequate pain management. Without sufficient care, patients dealing with chronic pain suffer in every station of their lives, ranging from personal to professional. Despite the importance of optimal pain management, health inequities persist. Following a pain management activity, 94% of learners recognized that pain intensity is underestimated in Black and Native American patients, compared to 35% in a pre-survey. These data demonstrate the value of starting at the groundwater level to build a foundation of knowledge on unconscious bias, myths, and disparities. Additionally, clinicians need to adopt new strategies to build trust with their patients and accurately assess social determinants of health (SDoH) which greatly impact outcomes for patients with chronic pain.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify the impact of health inequities on pain management.
  • Individualize treatment strategies that include assessment of SDoH to improve patient pain management outcomes.

Financial Support

Supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson.

Target Audience
