Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop and operationalize key procedures for physical therapists (n = 12) to address patients who are at risk for or have opioid misuse (OM). The investigators will train physical therapists in procedures to: 1) engage patients at risk for OM in conversations about appropriate opioid use, 2) screen and 3) assess these patients for OM and, 4) refer patients for further treatment if OM is suspected. The investigators will employ a modified Delphi approach to iteratively refine and operationalize the procedures and to arrive at a finalized procedure manual followed by an evaluation of the implementation of these procedures.

Training Arm

The training will be composed of 4 separate training sessions provided every 2 - 4 weeks. During the 1st session (45 minutes), the investigators will educate the physical therapist about the different categories of opioid use including opioid misuse (OM) and the risks associated with OM as well as training to engage the patient in a conversation about opioid use. The 2nd and 3rd sessions (30 minutes each) involve training in procedures to screen and assess patients at risk for OM, respectively. The 4th session (30 minutes) involves training in procedures to refer patients to a specialist or a primary care provider for further treatment if OM is suspected.
