Americans are in chronic pain, and a comprehensive new study exploring trends in this major public health concern reveals that what has been a long-standing and under-acknowledged problem is getting substantially worse.
The findings, published in the latest issue of the journal Demography, suggest blanket increases across multiple measures, with pain rising in every adult age group, in every demographic group, and at every site of pain for which data exists. People today are experiencing more pain than individuals of the same age in earlier decades. In fact, each subsequent birth group is in greater pain than the one that came before it.
In other words, any useful answer depends on the measures consulted and the standards against which results are compared. If you are looking for a credible but simple answer to the “how are Canadian math students doing” question, you could stop reading now. They are doing fine. Overall, Canadian math scores remained significantly higher than the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) average over the 2003-2018 period. How do we know this? Because the results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) say so. Conducted every three years among 15-year old students, PISA is considered the most extensive and widely accepted measure of academic math proficiency among lower secondary school students around the world.
