High-risk and Long-term Opioid Prescribing to Military Spouses in the Millennium Cohort Family Study

Abstract

The use and misuse of opioids by active service members has been examined in several studies, but little is known about their spouses’ opioid use. This study estimates the number of military spouses who received high-risk or long-term opioid prescriptions between 2010 and 2014, and addresses how the Military Health System can help prevent risky prescribing in order to improve military force readiness.
