Abstract

Opioid nonadherence may be a frequent problem in acute and chronic pain conditions but little has been published about patterns of opioid adherence. We studied opioid adherence for sickle cell disease (SCD) pain, both over time and at particular times in adults with SCD, to identify patterns of opioid use, and to describe attitudes, beliefs, and contextual factors related to opioid adherence and patterns of opioid use. Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of SCD outpatients.
