There’s a lot of history, policy, assumptions, medical facts and approaches, and general public beliefs to untangle.

Some of these assumptions and beliefs land on hot buttons of race and ethnicity. In same hospitals, Black patients receive fewer opioids than white patients describes a study about racial differences in prescribing opioids. The result of such racial bias generally is that Black patients are less likely to have their pain relieved, but the opioid addiction problem is greater among White people than Black people.
