Prescription Opioid Discontinuation: Honoring Patient Insights and Experience to Support Safe and Caring Transitions -- Decision Aid Pilot

Earlier aims of this study developed a patient-centered Decision Aid (DA) that uses stories of people who benefited from discontinuing and clear explanations of evidence for key choices to decrease stigma; empower patients; increase engagement and productive interaction with providers in decision making; and reduce fear, anger and anxiety about tapering. The DA will be designed to support conversations that providers often find challenging and help providers maintain patient trust and satisfaction. Participants in the pilot test will be asked to: 1) complete a pre-DA survey, 2) review the DA, 3) have a guided conversation with a trained study interventionist with a behavioral health background who is trained on how to use the DA, and 4) complete a post-DA survey.
