Racial bias can manifest in various ways in how doctors assess the pain of patients of color. Despite efforts to provide equitable healthcare, studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that racial disparities exist in pain assessment and management.

Research has shown that there is a tendency for healthcare providers, including doctors, to underestimate the pain reported by patients of color. The underestimation may lead to delays in diagnosis, inadequate pain management, and a lower likelihood of receiving appropriate pain medication.

Healthcare professionals, including doctors, may hold implicit biases that influence their perceptions and attitudes toward patients based on race or ethnicity. Stereotypes and biases about pain tolerance based on race or ethnicity can influence healthcare professionals' perceptions. Stereotypes that certain racial or ethnic groups are more stoic or less likely to experience severe pain can contribute to disparities in pain assessment. Studies have shown that racial and ethnic minorities, particularly Black individuals, may be perceived as experiencing less pain or being less credible in their reports of pain.

Differences in communication styles and cultural expressions of pain may be misunderstood by healthcare providers. Patients from different cultural backgrounds may express pain differently, and doctors who are not culturally competent may misinterpret these expressions or fail to recognize the severity of the pain.

Racial and ethnic minorities may be less likely to receive appropriate pain treatment, including pain medications and referrals to pain specialists. The difference can result in disparities in the quality of pain management and contribute to the unequal burden of pain experienced by different patient populations.

Historical instances of medical exploitation, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and mistrust of the healthcare system among certain racial and ethnic communities can affect patient-provider relationships. Mistrust may lead to patients underreporting pain or avoiding seeking medical care, further exacerbating disparities in pain assessment.

Studies have identified racial disparities specifically in the prescription of opioid medications for pain. Black patients, for instance, may be less likely to receive opioid prescriptions compared to white patients with similar pain conditions, leading to disparities in access to effective pain relief.

Cultural competence, which involves recognizing and respecting the cultural backgrounds of patients, can also contribute to more accurate assessments of pain. Patients of color may feel more comfortable discussing their pain and healthcare concerns with a provider who shares their racial or ethnic background.

Patients may be less likely to experience stereotype threat—the fear of being judged based on negative stereotypes—when interacting with a healthcare provider of the same racial or ethnic background. The shared background can create a more open and honest dialogue about pain experiences.

Doctors of color who share similar racial or ethnic backgrounds with their patients, may foster a sense of empathy and understanding. Shared experiences may lead to better communication and a more nuanced understanding of the patient's pain.

Individuals from marginalized communities may face barriers to accessing healthcare services, including testing, treatment, and vaccination. Lack of healthcare access can hinder the ability to control the spread of the virus and contribute to disparities in pandemic outcomes.
