Full title: Personalized Pain Management for EveryBODY: Considerations for Research and Clinical Care at the Intersections of Race and Health
About: Racism and weight-based stigma and bias are key determinants of pain and weight management outcomes. Intersectionality, a framework that describes how individual sociopolitical identities come together to create unique modes of discrimination and privilege, is being increasingly recognized as a useful conceptual model for studying health outcomes.
Weight-based pain disparities in medically underserved populations often lead to avoidance of the healthcare system and poorer quality of overall health care.
Thus, the evaluation of differences in pain outcomes based solely on isolated characteristics often obscure glaring disparities in pain management at the intersections of multiple identities. Importantly, health status around obesity and body type is often considered an aspect of identity. Thus, it is imperative to identify and eliminate pain disparities and inequities at the intersections of race and body size.
This talk will: 1) provide an overview of the disproportionate burden of chronic musculoskeletal pain at the intersections of race and obesity classification, 2) highlight research that examines select factors underlying the complex association between pain and obesity in racialized adults, and 3) discuss potential strategies for applying select principles of antiracist
pain research and intersectionality analytical frameworks to the study and clinical practice of chronic pain management.
