Dr Anna Hood talks about DEI and pain research at @canadianpain.bsky.social ASM 2025

DEI basically capture true variability in society, and not being inclusive in recruitment for research samples suffers from not having applicability - and is effectively incomplete.

Just in time for the @canadianpain.bsky.social ASM 2025, we published a paper showing how little federal health research funding goes to pain.

Pain affects 1 in 5 (!) Canadians, and poses the *largest* health-related burden on the economy. But research funding pales in comparison.
