Identifying modifiable factors that influence how use the would support strategies mitigate discrepancies. We hypothesized differences related from team members, patient message volume,...
The unprecedented number of youths engaged in nonmedical use prescription opioids (POs), as well the myriad negative consequences such misuse, emphasizes importance prevention efforts targeting this public health crisis. Although there are several science-based, interactive drug abuse programs focused on preventing nonprescription drugs youths, to our knowledge, no science-based that focus PO among adolescents.The aim study was develop and conduct a formative evaluation Web-based program...

Background Prescription opioid (PO) use is common among adolescents in the United States. Despite recent declines from unprecedented peaks adolescent PO (eg, 2012-2013), there seemingly paradoxical evidence that PO-related consequences disorder and overdoses) are increasing. These trends their possible emphasize importance of prevention efforts targeting misuse. To our knowledge, we have developed first interactive web-based program (POP4Teens [P4T]) focused specifically on misuse...
