Racial bias in pain management of African Americans (AA) contributes to the health disparities related to race and socioeconomics. Patients affected by sickle cell disease (SCD) frequently do not receive adequate pain management. Clinicians should consider if implicit/direct bias negatively impacts treatment plans while increasing their understanding of SCD. Late Breaking Reason: Due to the recent events surrounding the death of George Floyd, evidence of systemic racism has become a matter of national attention. Racial inequities are prevalent in healthcare and have profound effects on minority patient outcomes and may lead to moral distress among minority nurses caring for patients with SCD.
