Brief Summary:
This is a study on how patients use and store opioid pain medications at home after surgery and what happens to left over pills when patients are done taking them. Participants will be taught the proper storage and destruction of opioid pain medications, then contacted in 6-8 weeks about pain medication used, stored disposed of.
Detailed Description:
This is a randomized single-center prospective survey study to describe the utilization of opioid destruction bags in the post-operative period. Participants who underwent surgery for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) or Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) will be eligible for inclusion if discharging to home with an opioid prescription. Eligible participants will be randomized between two groups: 1) Control group will receive current standard of care 2) Intervention group will receive a specialized handout and patient education on the safe storage of opioid medications, importance of opioid destruction, opioid destruction options and medication destruction (Deterra) bag before discharge. Participants will be phoned/emailed six to eight weeks post-surgery to complete a survey. Attempts will be made on three separate days to reach the participant via phone. If email is preferred, three reminders will be sent to complete the survey. If participant is unreachable, they will be considered lost to follow up. Survey questions will be comprised of various question styles, including: yes/no, multiple choice, and free text answers.
