Gaps in the Public’s Knowledge about Chronic Pain: Representative Sample of Hispanic Residents from Five States

Educating the general public about chronic pain and its care is a national health priority. We evaluated knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) of a five-state, population-based sample of Hispanics aged 35-75 without chronic pain, representing over 8.8 million persons. A web-based survey assessed KAB using an adapted version of the Survey of Pain Attitudes-Brief and self-reported knowledge about chronic pain (nothing, a little, a lot). In unweighted analyses of participants (n=346), mean age was 52.0 (+10.6), 54% were women, 53% preferred Spanish, and 39% did not graduate from high school.
