Effect of a Scenario-tailored Opioid Messaging Program on Parents' Risk Perceptions and Opioid Decision-making.

Objectives: Poor parental understanding of prescription opioid risks is associated with potentially dangerous decisions that can contribute to adverse drug events (ADE) in children and adolescents. This study examined whether an interactive Scenario-tailored Opioid Messaging Program (STOMP) would (1) enhance opioid risk perceptions and (2) improve the safety of parents' decision-making.

Materials And Methods: In total, 546 parents were randomized to receive the STOMP versus control information and 516 completed the program.
