Identity Healthcare Experiences in Chronic Pain
This study wants to learn more about unfair differences in health and health care for people with chronic pain.
Why this Research Matters
Chronic pain affects many people in the United States. Some groups have more pain and more trouble getting care. This can lead to worse health outcomes. Things like race, gender, income, and education play a significant role. Researchers still do not fully understand how these factors work together to impact health outcomes. This study will look at how race, ethnicity, and language may affect health outcomes in people with chronic pain. This study will also look at how everyday discrimination, feelings of being treated unfairly in healthcare, and stigma related to chronic pain affect health. What researchers learn may help health care providers and leaders improve care for people with chronic pain. It may also help them better understand how different life experiences can affect health.
What to Expect
To see if you can join the study, you will complete a short online survey with a few questions about your health and pain. If you can join, a member of the study team will email you an invitation for the full study. You will then get a link to a longer online survey. It will ask about your background, pain, health care experiences, and overall health.

The screening questions take about 3-5 minutes. The full questionnaire will take 30 to 45 minutes. Your total time in the study will be less than 1 hour.
