Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that men receive 5% to 10% more prescription drugs for common pain complaints than women do is not true. In fact, research suggests that women are more likely to be prescribed pain medications and receive higher doses than men for the same type and severity of pain. This may be due in part to gender bias in the healthcare system. The other statements are true: women report more frequent episodes of pain, suffer more from migraines and tension headaches, and lesbian and bisexual women report a higher pain threshold than heterosexual women.
