The Chronic Pain Stigma in Geriatric Populations

Daniel Goldberg

Ethics and the chronic pain stigma in geriatric populations is the subject for this edition of the Bioethics Channel. Daniel Goldberg, JD, PhD of East Carolina University talks about it with the host of the program, Lorell LaBoube.

The PAINS project is a national initiative of the Center for Practical Bioethics to access the capacity and readiness of individual leaders and organizations to collaborate for the purpose developing a national strategic plan to improve the treatment of chronic pain.
