Evidence indicates that disparities exist in pediatric pain care, such that the pain of children with marginalized (e.g., identifying as a person of color, LGBTQIA+) vs. valued (e.g., identifying as a White person, cisgender heterosexual) individual and social identities are treated differently. This symposium will present state of the art empirical research examining antecedents, consequences, and potential mechanisms underlying these disparities, and actionable solutions to addressing inequities. Specifically, Ama Kissi will discuss how observer (i.e., attentional processing of another’s pain, perspective-taking and biases about pain experience) and pain sufferer (i.e., facial expressions of pain) characteristics may account for racial disparities in pediatric pain care. Katelynn Boerner will address how cisnormative and patriarchal biases may contribute to gender differences in pediatric pain care, with specific examples of the experiences of gender-diverse youth. Lauren Harrison will present data collected through semi-structured interviews with LGTBQIA+ youth with chronic pain, with a particular focus on pain-related stigma and the impact of the intersection of identities that are frequently invalidated and their perspectives on what is needed for inclusive pain care.
