Summary
This study tested whether doctors can use simple decision guides to better manage opioid misuse behaviors in patients on long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. Researchers worked with 49 clinicians at community clinics to see if the guides were easy to use and helpful. The goal was to learn how to put these guides into practice, not to directly treat patients.
