Pain
Within the Global Flourishing Study, we explore the socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioral aspects of pain. Specifically, we examine whether and how individual’s demographic characteristics, childhood circumstances, and various dimensions of wellbeing shape people’s experience of pain. Our work aims to inform the design of interventions and policies for pain and overall wellbeing.
