Structure

CDC will be hosting two types of engagements in each of the four cities.

1. Stakeholder Sessions- These will be in-person convenings of groups of no more than 20 individuals in which the project team will listen to participants share and discuss their personal and individual perspectives and experiences related to the themes described below. Although each session will address all three themes, there will not be a uniform set of questions asked in each session.

2. Individual Conversations- These will be dialogues during which the project team will meet in person with individual participants to listen to each personal perspective and experience related to the themes described below. Although each individual conversation will address all three themes, there will not be a uniform set of questions asked in each conversation.

Themes to Be Explored

CDC invites input specifically on topics focused on using or prescribing opioid pain medications, non-opioid medications, or non-pharmacological treatments (e.g., exercise therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy). These topics are:

• Experiences managing pain, which might include benefits, risks, and/or harms of the pain management options listed above.

• Experiences choosing among the pain management options listed above, including considering factors such as each option’s accessibility, cost, benefits, and/or risks.

• Experiences getting information needed to make pain management decisions.
