Balancing the risks of opioid therapy with the benefits is an ongoing challenge as prescription opioids continue to contribute to the US opioid crisis. This session examines the patient's understanding, attitudes, and experiences with opioids including concepts of misuse and abuse, communication of risk, and the benefit-risk perspective. Panelists will also discuss strategies to minimize risk as well as challenges with patient engagement in this setting.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Describe the patient’s perspective, experiences, and informational needs about opioids
  • Describe a self-reported measure to identify opioid abuse and misuse behaviors
  • Understand risk assessment and mitigation strategies for the use of opioids in patients with chronic pain
