Study Summary

This trial will test the use of agreements to improve safe opioid use & prevent misuse & opioid-related harm in the acute care setting.

Who is the study for?
Adults at least 18 years old, who speak English or Spanish and are scheduled for general surgery (like bariatric or hernia repair) at selected UT Physicians Health Centers. They must be likely to receive an opioid prescription post-surgery but can't join if they're pregnant, have a known allergy to opioids, cognitive impairments, a history of opioid misuse/abuse, chronic opioid use, or if they've been readmitted before the follow-up.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether safe opioid use agreements between patients and surgical providers can prevent misuse and reduce harm related to opioids after surgery. It's applying practices from chronic pain management into acute care settings where patients receive opioids for short-term pain relief.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves the implementation of an agreement rather than a drug intervention, there are no direct side effects from medications being tested. However, it aims to mitigate risks associated with opioid use such as addiction or overdose.
