Brief Summary:
Currently, 1 in 8 adolescents continue to receive prescription opioids a year or more after injury. By longitudinally surveying patients, we can identify risk factors and pathways to nonmedical opioid use. Furthermore, by assessing whether pain management and mental health treatment after injury moderates sustained opioid use and prescription opioid misuse, we can create targeted interventions to reduce future nonmedical opioid use in adolescents.

Condition or disease
Opioid Use Traumatic Injury Adolescent Behavior Substance Abuse Disorder

Detailed Description:
This is a prospective cohort study that will follow participants for 2 years and administer surveys to adolescents both traumatically injured and uninjured on prescription opioid usage, substance use, utilization of pain management and mental health services, and mental and physical health condition conditions.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Prospectively determine drivers of sustained opioid use and prescription opioid misuse. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Identify patient-reported factors for sustained prescription opioid use, including chronic pain and mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  2. Assess behavioral, social, and clinical predictors of prescription opioid misuse and nonmedical opioid use by longitudinally surveying injured adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  3. Qualitatively determine patients' motives for continued opioid therapy, prescription opioid misuse, and nonmedical opioid use by interviewing injured adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
  4. Analyze genetic information, obtained via saliva sample and the company 23andMe, from each participant to determine if some people are more likely to use more pain medication than others or respond better to certain pain medications. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Saliva will be collected at baseline only for the purpose of analyzing genetic data on each participant.
