View Award Description

Improving Assessment of Opioid Use Disorder in People with Disabilities Related to Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain - The goal of this 3-year project is to lay the groundwork for primary care providers and specialists to accurately assess for opioid use disorder (OUD) in people with disabilities who are taking opioids long term to manage musculoskeletal pain (target group) while using the best evidence to minimize OUD over- and under-diagnosis. AIR will partner with an advisory panel of people with disabilities and experts in the disability and medical communities for guidance and feedback on research plans and products. The objectives are to (1) conduct a systematic literature review to identify evidence-based best OUD assessment practices, tools, and resources; (2) identify barriers and facilitators to OUD assessment and treatment access through qualitative research; (3) adapt and test a screening tool to detect OUD in the target population; and (4) develop an OUD assessment and referral toolkit and disseminate it through provider and disability organizations and those training providers in addiction medicine. Anticipated intermediate outcomes include increased understanding of opioid misuse versus appropriate use in the target population, increased provider knowledge of steps to accurately assess for OUD, strategies for OUD risk stratification, and ways to facilitate transition into OUD treatment. The expected products are issue briefs synthesizing the systematic review and qualitative research tailored to different audiences; a validated screening tool to assess for OUD in the target population; and an assessment and referral toolkit to be disseminated through online media, a webinar and webinar recording, a conference, and AIR’s Opioid Center webpages.
