Summary View help for Summary
The overall goal of this study was to develop and test the feasibility of implementing best evidence workplace policy guidelines to reduce opioid use and misuse among working age people, the population primarily affected by the opioid crisis. Researchers developed workplace opioid guidelines to reduce prescription opioid use, decrease opioid misuse and opioid use disorder (OUD), and improve health-related employment outcomes. Researchers then tested the feasibility of implementing these guidelines among construction workers, an occupational group at uniquely high risk of opioid use and fatal overdose. Researchers conducted worker surveys and interviews with leaders of construction unions, employers and health funds. These data helped researchers better describe opioid use in the construction industry and informed an advisory panel of addiction and human resources specialists, construction employers, union officials, and labor-management health fund leaders.
