Disparities, Inequities, and Injustices in Populations With Pain: An ASPMN Position Statement
Abstract
Disparities, inequities, and injustices in populations with pain are historically pervasive and lead to deleterious patient outcomes and perpetuate systemic barriers to achieving equitable pain management. The American Society for Pain Management Nursing (ASPMN) upholds the principle that all persons with pain have equal rights to evidence-based, high quality pain assessment, management, and treatment. Intervening at multilevels (i.e., individual, interpersonal, community, societal) is necessary to ascertain that just and equitable pain care is provided to all populations.
