From the article: “It’s possible that black kids are less likely to say they’re in pain”
This is an important variable to consider, but there are clearly others. I haven’t seen the actual publication, so will reserve judgment until I do. The reality is that the journals love this kind of publication, because it’s sensationalistic and they know they’re going to get significant press coverage from it. There are a ton of papers out there showing differences in the way women are treated. Do people actually think that doctors are making treatment decisions based on race or gender, and withholding care on this basis? Really?
