In Part 1 of the July 2022 learning course entitled, The Battle Against Social Determinants of Health and Disparities in Pain Management, information was provided about how social determinants of health and healthcare provider bias can contribute to disparities in pain management.

Now it’s time to put the knowledge gained from Part 1 into action. In Part 2, leaders from the field discuss real-life examples of how to address barriers, reduce bias, and support patients who are suffering due to social determinants of health and disparities. The goal of this learning activity is to provide pharmacists with knowledge and skills to address social and economic determinants of health and health care disparities that can lead to the development -- and mismanagement -- of pain.
