Abstract:
Chronic pain is and will continue to be a persisting chronic health condition as the population rapidly ages. In older adults, a moderate-to-large proportion experience both chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain that leads to difficulties with mood regulation, functional mobility, and social engagement. In racially/ethnically diverse and underrepresented older adults, chronic pain and its management are even more challenging not only because of its severity but also because they experience unequal care consequent to their intersectional identities. To counter the compounding effects of ageism, racism, and ableism, pain affirming care is introduced as new approach/philosophy for equitable pain care.
