'We have failed them': studies overlook sex, gender in veteran pain care | CBC News A recent study on chronic pain management for Canadian veterans has uncovered a critical flaw in decades of research: Not a single one examined the impact of sex or gender on treatment effectiveness.

40% of male veterans and 50% of female veterans are affected by chronic pain, yet sex and gender have been overlooked in the research.

If we aim to truly #PriortizePain, all experiences and communities must be engaged. At PEPR, we’re developing a culturally responsive framework for engaging Indigenous patients that bridges academic methodologies with Indigenous healing practices and knowledge systems.

This #NPAW2025, be mindful of the guidelines and frameworks that shape #patientengagement. #PEPRPartnership is conducting an interpretive synthesis to identify the assumptions underpinning PE frameworks in order to re-imagine what it might look like in ways that promote equity and decolonization.
