Scenario Tailored Opioid Messaging Program (STOMP) to Improve Risk Understanding in Young Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Educational Intervention for Pain, Postoperative and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 503 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Legitimate prescription opioid use during adolescence has been associated with later prescription opioid misuse and substance use disorder symptoms during adulthood. Thus, primary prevention interventions for older adolescents and young adults (15-24 yrs) at the time of prescribing are imperative. The goal of our research is to improve opioid analgesic safety and efficacy by optimizing opioid risk recognition and informed decision-making among 15-24 year olds who are prescribed these agents for home use. Young adults and older adolescents who manage their own prescription pain medicines need to recognize opioid-related risks and make decisions that will both reduce these risks yet ensure effective pain relief. The proposed research will evaluate new strategies to help subjects learn about opioid risks and make safe and effective analgesic decisions. 355 subjects who are undergoing an elective surgical procedure will be recruited. Subjects will be randomized to receive the new educational routine information. Subjects' knowledge and perceptions will be evaluated at baseline and at critical times after surgery.
