In recognition of Women’s History Month, we’re discussing chronic pain and pain management in older women. Chronic pain is something that many older adults deal with, particularly women and people of color. Guest Janiece Taylor, PhD, RN, FAAN, Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, dedicates her research to addressing the social determinants of health that lead to these disparities.

Dr. Taylor discusses the driving force for her research and the interventions she is developing to improve the quality of life and health outcomes for those living with chronic pain in Baltimore, and beyond.
