Depression mediate the relationship between social status and chronic pain for Whites, but not Blacks

Abstract

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability. In USA, it disproportionately affects racial minorities and individuals of lower socioeconomic status. We found that for Whites higher social status correlate with lower depressive symptoms and pain, but for Blacks higher social status correlate with higher depressive symptoms and pain.
