Racial and Ethnic Differences in Postpartum Pain and Opioid Consumption after Cesarean Delivery
Substantial variability in postpartum pain was observed within each racial and ethnic group, highlighting the importance of factors beyond race and ethnicity that may modulate pain. Given the lack of significant differences in psychological factors assessed, future research should investigate additional psychosocial factors (e.g., experiences of discrimination) and resilience factors (e.g., optimism) that may help identify targets for intervention.
