Prescribed Opioid Use in Wisconsin 2008-2016: Findings From the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin.

CONCLUSION: These data from 2008-2016 demonstrate concerning levels of prescription opioid use and provide data on which population groups may be most vulnerable. While policies and clinical practice have changed since 2016, ongoing evaluation of prescribing practices, including consideration of behavioral health issues when prescribing opioids, is called for.
