Project description

The objective of the proposed program of research is to examine how health care providers’ perspective-taking (i.e., self- oriented vs. other-oriented) modulates racial disparities in child pain care. Health care providers’ discriminatory behaviors will be indexed by non-verbal behaviors in addition to traditional self-report and observational assessment of different categories of verbal caregiving behaviours.
