JPSM Review Article: The Experience of Black Patients with Serious Illness in the United States - A Scoping Review
Research from the Center to Advance Palliative Care's (CAPC) Project Equity work has been published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management (JPSM) titled, "The Experience of Black Patients with Serious Illness in the United States: A Scoping Review."
In response to the disparities in access to palliative care services, care quality, and outcomes for Black patients living with a serious illness, CAPC launched Project Equity, an initiative to create tools for meaningful change in the area of those in traditionally oppressed communities living with serious illness.
The JPSM article is a scoping review of the experiences of Black patients living with serious illness, and their families "to characterize how these studies were conducted and gain insights for future research. We concluded the review with 20 topics." More articles focused on establishing evidence of racial disparities between Black and White patients, rather than investigating and understanding the root causes of these disparities.
This scoping review was made possible through financial support from The Commonwealth Fund, The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
