Video-based, Patient-Focused Opioid Education in the Perioperative Period

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a pilot study designed to assess the feasibility of using a novel, video-based opioid education tool for opioid naïve ambulatory surgery patients in the perioperative period.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients will be randomized to a video or no video prior to surgery then administered a phone questionnaire at post-op day 7, 30, and 90. The Arkansas Prescriptions Drug Monitoring Database will also be accessed for information on opioid prescription refills. The overall goal of the study is to evaluate the effect that video-based opioid education has on narcotic intake after outpatient surgery. The duration of the study will be approximately 3 months, plus a single 1-hour long focus group if desired by the patient.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Knowledge of Post Operative Opioids | Knowledge of Post operative Opioids after surgery via 7 day post operative phone call. Knowledge is measured on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being complete knowledge and 1 being no knowledge. | 7 days | 
| Number of Patients Who Discontinued Opioids by 3 Months | Post-operative pain control as determined by opioid utilization at three months. This is the number of patients that have discontinued opioids at the 3 month mark. | Up to 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Development of Chronic Opioid Use | Feasibility of collecting data on the percentage of patients who develop chronic opioid use. This is measured as the number of patients who received an opioid prescription per the Arkansas prescription drug monitoring database during the 90-150 day period post operatively. | 90-150 days | 
| Number of Total Days to Opioid Cessation | Feasibility of collecting data on the number of days until opioid cessation | Up to 3 months |
