Study Finds Black Children Are Less Likely To Get Pain Medication In ERs Than Whites | A study by the Pediatric Academic Societies released last weekend found that black children are far less likely to receive pain medication in an emergency room than white children. According to the study, black children were 39 percent less likely to get the same medication as white children facing similar medical issues. In addition, the researchers found that black and Hispanic children were more likely to have longer hospital stays than white children. Previous studies have also found differences between how minorities were treated for serious illnesses, according to Raw Story.
