Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Video Education

The content of the education focuses on providing a historical perspective for opioid prescription from the time when the risk of dependence was highly underestimated. The video discusses the current evidence for the effect of opioid medications in non-cancer non-acute pain. It also discusses some of the dangers of long-term opioid usage. The consent, enrollment, and video education will take about 20-30 minutes for patients in this group, and occur at the end of their preoperative visit. The patient will watch the video on a portable Tablet computer.

BEHAVIORAL

Usual Care Group

Patients that are randomized to usual care will only receive the regular instructions about opioid usage they typically receive from their surgeon.
