Study Summary
Many prescription opioids following surgery are left unused and are at risk of being misused or diverted. Encouraging proper disposal is important, yet motivating this behavior remains challenging as patients must understand the risks of opioids, the benefits of disposal, and identify opportunities and places to dispose of them safely. Alternative disposal techniques can improve disposal rates but may be lost or forgotten. Applying behavioral economics techniques may lower the barriers and promote disposal. The objective is to test the effect of a specifically timed, mailed, at-home kit on disposal rates following surgery.
