Disparities in Care: Special Populations in Pain Management

This video presentation is the fourth activity in the series and addresses disparities in the management of chronic pain in children, the elderly, women and minorities.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, the learner will be able to:
  • Recognize that certain patient populations may experience pain differently
  • Recognize that certain populations are underserved with regard to pain management
  • Describe population-based differences in pain perception, expression, response to treatment and pathophysiology
  • Identify external barriers to effective pain management in these populations
  • Apply this knowledge to improve pain management in these populations
