Abstract
We studied the effect of race on analgesia use in potentially pain-related pediatric emergency department visits using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (2005-2010). There were independent patient- and hospital-level racial disparities when it came to the type of analgesia used, suggesting black children are treated differently even within hospitals with high numbers of black patients.
