• Sociocultural factors. Sociocultural background can influence how an older adult interprets, tolerates, responds to, and communicates pain. African-American, Hispanic,

For effective pain management, healthcare providers must be aware of these disparities
and respond appropriately to patients’ cultural beliefs and differences.
