The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced an opportunity for stakeholders to share their individual perspectives on and experiences with pain and pain management, including but not limited to the benefits and harms of opioid use. Patients with acute or chronic pain, patients’ family members and/or caregivers, and healthcare providers who care for patients with pain or conditions that can complicate pain management (e.g., opioid use disorder or overdose) will be considered for participation.
CDC will hold approximately 100 individuals, 45- to 60-minute conversations with selected stakeholders over the phone or through an internet-enabled virtual platform. Input gathered through these conversations will help inform CDC’s understanding of stakeholders’ values and preferences relate to pain and pain management and will complement its ongoing work to update the 2016 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain.
