Abstract
Receiving adequate analgesia has been shown to be problematic for African Americans with cancer pain. The vast majority of studies only simply highlights the existing disparities between African Americans and Caucasians in pain management. There is a lack of research focusing on the etiology of these disparities, specifically on what causes prescriptions for inadequate analgesics, especially for African Americans. The purpose of this study was to characterize the adequacy of analgesia received by African Americans with cancer pain and to elucidate what patient characteristics contributed to receiving adequate analgesia.
