Scenario-tailored Opioid Messaging Program (STOMP): An Interactive Intervention to Prevent Opioid-related Adverse Drug Events in Children and Adolescents
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Educational Intervention and Nudge for Pain, Postoperative and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 712 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Millions of children and adolescents are prescribed opioid pain relievers each year, placing them at risk for serious adverse events and misuse in the home setting. Parents who manage these medicines, therefore, need to recognize opioid-related risks and make decisions that will both reduce these risks yet ensure effective pain relief for their children. The proposed research will evaluate new strategies to help parents learn about opioid risks, make safe and effective analgesic decisions, and develop and demonstrate safe drug management behaviors. 840 parents and their children who are undergoing an elective surgical procedure will be recruited. Parents will be randomized to receive the new educational and practical behavioral strategy or routine information. Parents' knowledge and perceptions will be evaluated at baseline and at critical times after surgery. Parents' opioid handling and administration will also be assessed.

Interventions
This intervention provides scenario-tailored opioid risk message feedback immediately following interactive analgesic decision-making exercises.
Behavioral Nudge in this study is a simple, take-home kit (ziplock baggy of used coffee grounds) to be used to dispose of left-over prescription opioids
