Consensus-based Algorithms to Address Opioid Misuse Behaviors Among Individuals Prescribed Long-term Opioid Therapy

The NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative has identified a critical next step to addressing the opioid crisis: improving treatments for opioid misuse behaviors (e.g., using more opioids than prescribed, illicit substance use) in patients prescribed long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. In previous work, the investigators have developed innovative consensus-based algorithms to manage these behaviors. By developing implementation strategies for these algorithms, this project is directly responsive to the HEAL initiative and promises to reduce opioid misuse-related harms.
