Trial 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. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 15 to 24 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Undergoing an elective surgical procedure for which it is expected they will receive a prescription pain medicine for management of pain during recovery at home.

Who cannot join

  • Undergoing non-elective procedure
  • Cognitive impairment precluding self-reporting of pain

About this study

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.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this research is to improve opioid analgesic safety and efficacy by optimizing opioid risk recognition, informed decision-making including misuse among 15-24 year olds who are prescribed these agents for home use.

This is a randomized, controlled study design. The investigators will enroll emerging adults (aged 15-24 yrs) who are scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure and will be prescribed an opioid as part of their routine postoperative care. Comprehensive informed consent will be obtained.

No medical treatments will be altered for the purposes of this educational study. All participants will complete baseline surveys to assess their pain medicine familiarity, their opioid risk knowledge and perceptions, and their analgesic self-efficacy and their pain relief/ risk avoidance preferences. Participants will also be presented (via the survey platform) with several hypothetical (mock) scenarios and will be asked to make hypothetical decisions about how they would treat pain for each.

The Intervention group will receive tailored feedback and guidance after each scenario (i.e., the Scenario Tailored Opioid Messages) and the Control group will receive only routine analgesic risk and benefit information. Participants will complete the post-scenario/feedback surveys to re-assess opioid risk perceptions and self-efficacy and will complete brief health literacy surveys.

On days 7, 14 and at 1 and 3 months, participants will be resurveyed (via emailed qualtrics survey link or paper -whichever is preferred) about their opioid risk knowledge, perceptions, scenario decision making, analgesic self-efficacy and pain relief/risk avoidance preferences.

All surveys and datasheets will contain unique identifiers only. Identifiers will be maintained separately from survey data (linked only by unique identifier) to maintain privacy. Participants will receive up to $50 for participation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Educational InterventionBehavioural

    Also called STOMP Intervention

    This intervention provides scenario-tailored opioid risk message feedback immediately following interactive analgesic decision-making exercises.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Opioid Risk Perception

    Perceived riskiness of opioid misuse (0-40 where 40 indicates highest risk perception)

    Measured: Baseline, day 14, 3 months post intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Opioid Misuse Intention Decisions

    Number of participants with opioid misuse intentions and behaviors

    Measured: 3 months post intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational Intervention in people with Pain, Postoperative and Medication Adherence, run by University of Michigan at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Opioid Risk Perception (time frame: Baseline, day 14, 3 months post intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Apr 2022.
