Racial and ethnic minorities are at higher risk for the ineffective treatment of pain. While others have investigated racial and ethnic disparities in access to health services generally, this article represents the first comprehensive review of the literature on racial and ethnic disparities in the treatment of pain. In addition to conducting this review, the author also outlines some of the causes for the disparities as well as provides suggestions for future health-services research in this area.
