About The Study: The multivariable findings of this study showed that chronic pain was more prevalent among rural than urban cancer survivors even after controlling for covariates, suggesting an association between chronic pain and additional factors. For example, survivorship resources are generally less available in rural areas, and rural residents may lack access to pain specialists or face insurance challenges accessing pain care.
