Intergenerational Transmission of Risk for Chronic Pain: Why Parent Pain Matters

Chronic pain conditions are highly prevalent in the U.S., and are associated with negative impacts on physical and psychosocial function. Physical pain is also a fairly common motivator for use of a number of substances across development.

This webinar will describe current understanding of the impact that parental chronic pain has on offspring, including increased risk for pain and psychological problems, as well as findings from Dr. Wilson’s research focusing on mothers with chronic pain and their children.

The presentation will also highlight the importance of considering parent pain experiences in psychological and substance use research, particularly in work that is focused on parenting and child outcomes. Methods for assessing pain, pain-related disability, pain-specific parenting, and related domains will be discussed.
