Emerging Psychobiosocial Perspectives on Racial Disparities in Health Care
This symposium integrates perspectives detailing the psychological, perceptual, and physiological underpinnings of racial disparities in healthcare. Presenters will discuss novel approaches to eliminating these disparities – from identifying minority patients who may be particularly at risk, to reducing perceptual bias in pain recognition, to educating providers and enhancing patient activation.
