Perceived discrimination and migraine‐specific quality of life: A cross‐sectional survey study in a Black/African American sample

Experiences of discrimination, both across the lifetime and within the medical setting, significantly impact migraine-specific quality of life in Black/African Americans. These findings highlight the critical need for interventions that reduce bias in migraine care, improve pain management, and address the psychosocial stress linked to discrimination. Future research should focus on investigating the pathways through which discrimination exacerbates health disparities and on developing multidisciplinary, culturally competent strategies to improve care and reduce inequities for minoritized populations.

Abstract

Experiences of discrimination, both across the lifetime and within the medical setting, significantly impact migraine-specific quality of life in Black/African Americans. These findings highlight the critical need for interventions that reduce bias in migraine care, improve pain management, and address the psychosocial stress linked to discrimination. Future research should focus on investigating the pathways through which discrimination exacerbates health disparities and on developing multidisciplinary, culturally competent strategies to improve care and reduce inequities for minoritized populations.
