This collection of tools and resources is for providers, staff, and patients who offer or use services to address substance use, and other interested stakeholders. This collection was originally established following an environmental scan on implementing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural primary care. (See PDFs of Volume 1 (PDF - 609 KB) and Volume 2 (PDF - 1.3 MB) of that scan). Items have been continuously added to this collection since then, and the collection has expanded to cover substance use more broadly, rather than just MAT for OUD.
Describes development and validation of a low-literacy, English-language opioid contract.
Uses a simple prognostic questionnaire to help clinicians identify modifiable risk factors (biomedical, psychological, and social) for back pain disability. Stratifies patients with the resulting score as low, medium, or high risk and matches patients with a treatment package for each category.
Uses a 20-item instrument administered in an interview format to track behaviors characteristic of addiction related to prescription opioid medications in chronic pain populations. The instrument is scored based on participant responses, interviewer observations of displayed behaviors, and information gathered from medical chart review.
Assesses differences in attractiveness of different prescription opioid products and formulations to potential individuals with substance use disorders.
Assesses the risk of opioid abuse and suitability of candidates for long-term opioid therapy in primary care.
Assesses risk for opioid abuse among individuals prescribed opioids for treatment of chronic pain with a brief self-report screening tool designed for use with adult patients in primary care settings. Patients categorized as high risk are at increased likelihood of future abusive drug-related behavior.
Facilitates ongoing evaluation of patient pain and documentation of pain management. Includes sections to assess pain-related outcomes in four areas: analgesia, activities of daily living, adverse events, and aberrant drug-related behavior.
Screens individuals for drug dependence, including use of opioids, with an 11-item self-report instrument.
Consent form on which patient agrees to follow policies related to long-term use of opioids because these drugs have potential for abuse or diversion.
