We must listen to individuals with opioid use disorder directly to understand how to best approach solutions and strategies for their care and learn how to adjust care plans without inadvertently causing negative outcomes. This study and its findings will help us do just that.” In 2021, an estimated 2.5 million people aged 18 years or older in the U.S. had opioid use disorder in the past year, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
“Addressing opioid-related harms is a complex issue and requires comprehensive solutions,” said Bicket, who is also an associate professor of health management and policy in the School of Public Health. “As clinicians, it is our responsibility to provide patients with the best care possible, so understanding the relationship between post-surgical opioid prescribing for those with opioid use disorder is critical to providing patient-centered care,” said Jennifer Waljee, an associate professor in the U-M Medical School and co-principal investigator of the project.
