PAIN, PLACE, AND POSITIONALITY: SYSTEMIC APPROACHES TO IMPROVING EQUITABLE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR OLDER ADULTS


 Racism and other “isms” are systemic problems that operate across multiple domains and affect access to care and services, available treatments, and long-term health outcomes for older adults. As such, changing these systems requires diverse methodological approaches that can identify and examine the contextual factors that influence these outcomes, along with continued strong advocacy that will result in related policy change. This presentation will highlight challenges in care delivery and outcomes for Black older adults in pain management, COVID care, and long term care placement and examine how mixed methodological approaches and implementation of the Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards as outlined by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services can make a difference.
