Summary

Researchers are testing WorkWell, a mobile program designed to prevent prescription opioid misuse among construction workers and nurses. The app includes lessons on opioid risks, pain management alternatives, and how to talk with doctors. Participants answer questions about their beliefs and intentions before, right after, and about a month after using the program. The goal is to see whether these lessons can reduce the chance of opioid misuse and overuse in these high-risk jobs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
WorkWell, a mobile-delivered behavioral intervention with lessons on opioid knowledge, pain management alternatives, and patient-provider communication
What this could lead to
If it works, WorkWell could give employers a practical tool to reduce prescription opioid misuse and overuse among workers in high-risk industries.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage optimization trial, so the lessons may not change behavior in the long run. Results depend on self-reported outcomes, which can be unreliable.
