Pain management is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Learn what women should know about prescription opioids in our new toolkit, developed in partnership with AAOA_Tweets:
Pain management is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Research shows that women are more likely to be prescribed opioids than men and tend to become persistent users of opioids. Women also make more than 80 percent of health care decisions for their families and are more likely to act as caregivers for family members and keep track of prescriptions.
The unique medical needs of women, coupled with the important responsibilities they have in caring for others, makes education and awareness about prescription opioids especially important. That is why Allied Against Opioid Abuse partnered with HealthyWomen to develop a new suite of resources to help educate women as consumers and caregivers about prescription opioid misuse and abuse.
The partnership aims to address the significant knowledge gap among women around understanding the rights, risks and responsibilities associated with prescription opioid use.
AAOA and HealthyWomen hope that these resources will serve as tools for women to better communicate with their health care providers and family members about the safe use, storage and disposal of prescription opioids.
