This study is looking at how the packaging of opioid medication affects the use of opioids following surgery. The study is comparing opioid use when provided in a standard amber vial (normal orange bottle) versus a blister pack called the Opioid Package Prototype, or “OPP” for short. Study participants will receive their post-surgery opioid medication from Arrow Pharmacy (located in the Outpatient Pavillion) in one of the two packages, which are pre-assigned. Participants will also complete surveys and/or interviews before surgery and at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Basic criteria to participate include being an adult having one of 17 common surgical procedures by a participating orthopaedic surgeon and using opioid medication for post-operative pain.
