简要总结
This trial uses a survey to study parent and caregiver practices on the storage, use, and disposal of opioids in a comprehensive cancer center. It is not known if parents and/or caregivers are aware of the guidelines and recommendations for proper and safe disposal of opioids. This survey will help health care providers assess the needs and improve the safety of patients and their families from the potential dangers of misuse and abuse of prescription opioid medications.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the frequency of unsafe storage, use, and disposal of unused and currently used opioids by parents and/or caregivers of patients 18 years and younger at MD Anderson Cancer Center.
II. To explore potential association between other covariates with the unsafe storage, use, and disposal of opioids.
OUTLINE:
Participants complete online survey on an iPad over 20 minutes.

结局指标
主要结局
Reported frequencies of unsafe disposal of opioids
时间窗: Up to 2 years
This is defined as throwing unused pills in the trash without any modification. Will estimate the proportion along with a 95% confidence interval. The distribution of the primary outcome by demographic information will be presented in cross tabulations. The association between the primary outcomes and demographic information/other behavior will be explored by Chi-Squared test or Fisher's exact test when appropriate. Logistic regression models may be employed to assess the effect of demographic factors on the unsafe storage of opioids. Other statistics methods may be used when appropriate.
Reported frequencies of unsafe use of opioids
时间窗: Up to 2 years
This is defined as giving more opioid than prescribed to the child very frequently, frequently, occasionally, infrequently, or very infrequently. Will estimate the proportion along with a 95% confidence interval. The distribution of the primary outcome by demographic information will be presented in cross tabulations. The association between the primary outcomes and demographic information/other behavior will be explored by Chi-Squared test or Fisher's exact test when appropriate. Logistic regression models may be employed to assess the effect of demographic factors on the unsafe storage of opioids. Other statistics methods may be used when appropriate.
Reported frequencies of unsafe storage of opioids
时间窗: Up to 2 years
The unsafe storage of opioids is defined as having opioids in the open where anyone can see it, in a medicine cabinet that is not locked, or hidden but not locked. Will estimate the proportion along with a 95% confidence interval. The distribution of the primary outcome by demographic information will be presented in cross tabulations. The association between the primary outcomes and demographic information/other behavior will be explored by Chi-Squared test or Fisher's exact test when appropriate. Logistic regression models may be employed to assess the effect of demographic factors on the unsafe storage of opioids. Other statistics methods may be used when appropriate.
