L’objectif
Little is known about childhood trauma exposure and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) among people prescribed opioids for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). We aimed to (1) describe childhood trauma exposure among this population, and (2) examine if childhood trauma exposure was an independent risk factor for OUD among people prescribed opioids for CNCP.
Constatations/points à retenir
Among people prescribed opioids for CNCP, childhood trauma exposure was a common, independent risk factor for OUD. Availability of trauma-informed services for those prescribed opioids for CNCP may reduce risk of transition to OUD.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
This study used baseline data from 1,514 people prescribed opioids for CNCP in Australia.
