Patient and pharmacist perspectives on opioid misuse screening and brief interventions in community pharmacies

CONCLUSIONS: Through this implementation-focused qualitative study, we identified patient needs such as opioid safety education delivered in a private and convenient format and pharmacist needs including training, workflow integration, protocols, and a time-efficient intervention for effective pharmacy-based SBI. Alternate formats of SBI using digital health technologies may be needed for effective implementation. Our findings can be used to develop patient-centered pharmacy-based SBI that can be implemented within actual pharmacy practice.PMID:38589965 | DOI:10.1186/s13722-024-00460-y
