Opioid prescription research focuses on the patterns, trends, and outcomes related to the prescribing of opioid medications for pain management. This type of research often examines factors such as the prevalence of opioid prescriptions, rates of opioid misuse and addiction, the effectiveness of different opioid prescribing practices, and the impact of opioid prescriptions on public health and social issues. Researchers in this area may also explore interventions and policies aimed at preventing opioid misuse and reducing the negative consequences associated with opioid prescription.
