Abstract
Pain and anxiety frequently co-occur and both have been linked to lower socioeconomic status. However, it is unclear how pain severity and anxiety may be independently or synergistically associated with objective and subjective indicators of socioeconomic status. We utilized data from the Pain and Social Experiences Project (PASE), which aims to better understand the association between chronic pain and social experiences, to evaluate this question. We hypothesized that individuals with both high pain severity and anxiety would report the lowest levels of subjective socioeconomic status compared to individuals low in both or only one dimension. Results are pending. The findings may provide important information about structural inequalities facing individuals with chronic pain.
