Award to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to develop and validate clinical definitions and phenotypes related to opioid misuse in chronic pain patients, supporting improved chronic pain care and opioid misuse risk management.
Description
This project aims to refine and validate a clinical definition for opioid misuse through multi-society expert consensus and comprehensive electronic phenotyping, creating standardized frameworks to improve chronic pain care while addressing opioid misuse risks. It supports NIH HEAL Initiative and NIDA's mission by enabling better identification of intervention points across medically underserved populations, ultimately enhancing individualized patient care at the critical intersection of chronic pain and opioid use.
