Aberrant behaviors in a primary care-based cohort of patients with chronic pain identified as misusing prescription opioids.

Objective: To assess aberrant drug-related behaviors (ADRBs) in patients discharged from a community primary care practice for opioid misuse and treating physician's ability to identify predictive aberrant behaviors.

Design: Retrospective chart review of patients with chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) identified by their treating physician as misusing opioid analgesics, and patients with similar characteristics who had not been identified as misusing opioids. A survey of attending and resident physicians from these clinics on their knowledge of ADRBs was also collected.
