Summary

This study developed and tested the feasibility of implementing guidelines on workplace policies to reduce prescription opioid use, decrease chronic opioid use, promote recovery from opioid use disorder, and improve health-related employment outcomes. The researchers developed and tested these guidelines among construction workers. This project provided critical information to design and conduct a randomized trial to implement and evaluate insurance and employment policy guidelines among labor-management health funds in the building trades.

This study is also available on the HEAL Data Platform (study record HDP00331).
