Claire Hodges

The latest corrections and clarifications address an article on how pain treatment differs between ethnicities, specifically a 2016 Boston University study. The original piece incorrectly stated that Prof Keisha Ray was the lead author, though she was a postdoctoral fellow at the time. This update ensures accuracy in reporting.

Understanding the Pain Treatment Study Correction

The article, titled 'How the pain gap lasts for a lifetime,' published on 3 July, included an error regarding Prof Keisha Ray's role. She was quoted as a postdoctoral fellow with the McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics at the University of Texas Health Science Center, not the lead author. We apologize for the mistake and have amended the article accordingly.
