Summary

This study evaluates two interventions intended to increase the safe disposal of leftover prescription opioids, compared to no intervention. Participants will receive an informational sheet describing how to safely dispose of leftover prescription opioids, an informational sheet with a drug disposal kit, or no intervention. Participants will be randomized by day for pragmatic reasons.

Conditions

  • Opioid Use

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Informational Sheet

The informational sheet details how use opioid medicines safely, and lists ways to properly dispose of leftover opioids

BEHAVIORAL

DisposeRx Drug Disposal kit

DisposeRx is a powder that is activated with water and traps leftover drugs (i.e. pills, capsules, caplets, liquids or tablets) in a semi-solid gel. The trapped drug cannot be retrieved from the resulting gel material for misuse, abuse or to leach into landfills. The participant can then throw away the biodegradable solid material in the prescription bottle into the trash, as it is safe for the environment.
