ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Twenty-four percent of all U.S. opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid. Changing prescribing practices is considered a key step in reducing opioid overdoses. Primary care providers (PCPs) commonly lack the patient engagement skills needed to address patient resistance to taper or end opioid prescriptions. We developed and evaluated a protocol aimed at improving PCP opioid-prescribing patterns and modeled on the evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) approach. We conducted a time series trial comparing provider opioid prescribing 8 months before and 8 months after training with the PRomoting Engagement for Safe Tapering of Opioids (PRESTO) protocol. The 148 Ohio PCPs who completed PRESTO training gained confidence in their ability to engage their patients on the topics of opioid overdose risk and potential opioid tapering. Promoting Engagement for Safe Tapering of Opioids participants had decreased opioid-prescribing over time, but this was not significantly different from Ohio PCPs who had not received PRESTO training. Participants completing PRESTO training had small, but significant increased buprenorphine prescribing over time compared with Ohio PCPs who had not received PRESTO training. The PRESTO approach and opioid risk pyramid warrant further study and validation.
