Researchers are developing an objective, quantitative score for pain by measuring over 30 biomarkers including stress hormones, inflammation markers and neurotransmitters, as well as other physiological responses, The aim is to eliminate variation and bias in the treatment of chronic pain in women.
Undecided voters can be challenging to study since they typically make up such a small share of the electorate. Fortunately, the Cooperative Election Study (CES) has interviewed at least 60,000 Americans during each of the past several election cycles, giving us a sample of several thousand undecided voters in each election.
