Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 07/24/09
Banta–Green CJ et al. – In this study of chronic pain patients on opioids in a general medical population, the PDUQ performed differently than in previously described pain clinic populations. CIDI DSM–IV items were distinct from a reduced set of PDUQ items, suggesting the need to reconsider approaches to the measurement of opioid problems for these patients. The four factors identified deserve further study, as they may signal the need for distinct interventions to improve the care of patients prescribed chronic opioid therapy for pain.
