Text Intervention to Facilitate Secure Storage and Disposal of Prescription Opioids
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The proposed study aims to develop and implement a text message intervention that will instruct and motivate individuals to securely store opioid medications during treatment and subsequently dispose of unused medications following treatment. It is relevant to public health as it is expected to meet the critical need of reducing the diversion of prescription opioids for nonmedical use. The proposed research is relevant to National Institute on Drug Abuse's priorities to develop and implement theoretically based, prevention interventions that can be scalable in healthcare settings to elicit population-level impacts to address the opioid crisis.
