520    "Chronic pain affects at least 116 million American adults
       --more than the total affected by heart disease, cancer, 
       and diabetes combined. It costs the nation up to $635 
       billion each year in medical treatment and lost 
       productivity. Pain is a uniquely individual and subjective
       experience that depends on a variety of biological, 
       psychological, and social factors, and different 
       population groups experience pain differently. Because 
       pain varies from person to person, health care providers 
       should tailor pain care to each person's experience, and 
       self-management of pain should be promoted. A cultural 
       transformation in the way clinicians and the public view 
       pain and its treatment is necessary to better prevent, 
       assess, treat, and understand pain of all types. Relieving
       Pain in America assesses the state of the science 
       regarding pain research, care, and education and offers a 
       blueprint for developing a population-level strategy to 
       increase awareness about pain and its treatments. The 
       report asserts that the National Center for Health 
       Statistics, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality,
       other government agencies, and private organizations 
       should accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence,
       prevalence, and treatments. In addition, training programs
       for dentists, nurses, physicians, psychologists, and other
       health professionals should include pain education in 
       their curricula and promote interdisciplinary learning. 
       Successful treatment, management, and prevention of pain 
       require an integrated approach that responds to all the 
       factors that influence pain. Government agencies, health 
       care providers, health care professional associations, 
       educators, patient advocacy groups, and public and private
       funders of health care must collaborate to address the 
       issue of pain in America"--Publisher's description.
