“Nearly three-quarters of physicians report prescribing fewer opioids due to increased abuse, misuse and diversion.
The majority of healthcare professionals (91%) tell patients how and when to take opioids, yet only 55% discuss safe storage and disposal.
Consumers are less likely than healthcare professionals to think that misuse, addiction, and prescription-sharing occurs with prescription opioid use.”
