L’objectif

Previous research suggests that interpersonal relationships moderate treatment outcomes for opioid use disorder based on the nature and quality of the relationship. However, the role of social support in the initiation of prescription opioid misuse (POM) is unclear.

Constatations/points à retenir

In models adjusted for relevant demographic and clinical outcomes, social support scores and depression and anxiety composite scores significantly predict POM scores 6 months post-discharge. When controlling for pre-injury depression and anxiety, patients with positive POM scores had significantly lower baseline social support scores than patients with negative POM.
