Research summary
AI-generated

Adam T. Hirsh studies chronic pain and how it is experienced and treated, with a strong focus on disparities in pain care across race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, and other social factors. His work examines how clinicians make pain treatment decisions, including the role of implicit bias, and tests interventions aimed at reducing unequal care. He also studies pain in specific populations such as children, transgender and gender-diverse individuals, and people with conditions like sickle cell disease.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
