Accuracy of Opioid Product Ascertainment
Part 1: Computerized Online Self-Administered Questionnaire
The study is being sponsored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Your participation is totally voluntary. All of your responses will be kept secure to the extent permitted by law.
Thank you for your willingness to participate in this study. This survey will take about 45 minutes to complete. After you complete this survey, you will rejoin the video call with a researcher for a brief discussion.
During this survey, you will be shown several photos and names of opioid pain medications and then will be asked to identify them. Opioid pain medications are a class of drugs that doctors use to treat moderate to severe pain in some patients. This class of drugs includes oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and many others. Pain medications that you can buy over the counter without a prescription from a doctor, like Tylenol, Advil, or aspirin, are NOT opioid pain medications.
Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. At the end, we will ask you some questions about yourself.
Exercise A: In this section, you will be shown a series of photos of opioid pain medications. Under each photo, please fill in the information about the medication you see in that photo.
Note: Each participant will be randomly assigned to a block of 8 opioid medication screen shots and only be shown the 8 opioid medication screen shots in that block across the 5 exercises (Exercise A-E). These 8 opioid medications will be presented in a randomized order for each exercise.
Exercise B: In this section, you will be shown a series of photos of opioid pain medications. Under each photo, please select the name of the medication you see in that photo.
Please select the name of the medication shown in the image below. If none of the options match, please select “None of the Above.” If you do not know the answer, please select “Don’t know.” The image may not be the same as its actual size. |

The next few questions in this survey will refer to “non-medical use” of a medication. Non-medical use includes ANY of the following:
Use for any reason, even once, without your own prescription
Use in ways other than prescribed (such as taking more than prescribed, more often than prescribed, or for any other reason/way than prescribed)
Use for the feeling or experience the medication caused (such as feeling of being high, enhancement of other drugs, prevention or treatment of withdrawal symptoms, or other feelings).
Use of a medication prescribed to you by a healthcare provider and ONLY used as prescribed is NOT non-medical use. Any use that differs from this would be considered non-medical use.

Final Screen
Thank you very much for completing this survey. Please click on the same link in your email that you clicked on before to rejoin the videoconference call with the researcher and complete the final portion of the study.
Accuracy of Opioid Product Ascertainment
Part
2: Online Videoconference Interview
Note: The participant does NOT see these items. They are not on the computer, and this is what the interviewer reads to the participant.
Thank you for completing the survey and rejoining the call. The conversation we are about to have is the last part of this study. It will take about 15 minutes.
I’m going to ask you to think back to the survey you just completed and how you identified opioid pain medications. When I refer to opioid pain medications, I’m referring to a class of drugs that doctors use to treat moderate to severe pain in some patients. This class of drugs includes oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, and many others. Pain medications that you can buy over the counter without a prescription from a doctor, like Tylenol, Advil, or aspirin, are NOT opioid pain medications.
At the end of the survey you just completed, you should have been directed to a screen with a question that looks like one you saw in the survey. We are going to come back to that screen and talk about how you would choose an answer to a couple of questions that are similar to the ones you saw in the survey. Finally, I’ll ask you some questions about your understanding of some terms used to refer to opioid pain medications.
There are no right or wrong answers to the questions I’m going to ask. We want to learn about how you identify opioid pain medications in order to improve surveys and tools that ask people about their use of these medications.
Before we begin, I want to draw your attention to a few items that were described in the consent document you read at the beginning of this study:
Audio Recording. We’re planning to audio record this interview. At the end of all our interviews, we want to summarize our findings. I want to give you my full attention and not take a lot of notes, so I will refer to the recordings when writing the summary.
Confidentiality. Your identity and anything you say will remain confidential. Your name, address, and contact information will not be given to anyone, and no one will contact you after this interview is over. When we write a summary of the interviews, we will not refer to you or anyone in this study by name.
Do you have any questions before we begin?
NOTE: The medication screens shown will be drawn from the products the individual participant reported using in response to the opioid misuse question in the computerized online questionnaire. Participants will be shown between 1-8 screens, depending on their responses. The order of the screens will be randomized.
First, I’d like to ask you to think back to the questions you answered in the survey you just completed that asked you to match names and pictures of opioid pain medications.
Thinking back to the survey, when you were shown a picture and asked to identify the opioid pain medication in the picture, what did you look for first?
How did you decide which name went with the medication in the picture?
Thinking about the opioid pain medications you’ve used or know about, are you more likely to be able to identify them by name or from a picture?
Next, we’re going to talk about a question that looks like one of the questions you saw in the survey, and I’ll ask you how you would choose an answer.
Please select the name of the medication shown in the image below. If you do not know the answer, please select “I don’t know.”
The image may not be the same as its actual size.
○ Percocet® ○ Roxicodone® ○ Xtampza ER ○ Generic short-acting Vicodin®-type generic ○ Vicodin® ○ Generic extended-release hydromorphone ○ Lorcet® ○ Entrol ○ Opana® ○ None of the above ○ Don’t know |
Even though it might feel odd, can you talk through your thought process, while answering this question and deciding what medication is in the picture?
What did you notice first when you saw the picture?
When you looked through the list of medication names, what was the first thing that came to mind?
When you chose the name of the medication in the picture, how confident were you that it was correct?
Now, we’re going to talk about one more question that looks like one of the questions you saw in the survey, and I’ll ask you how you would choose an answer.
Please select the name and active ingredient to identify the medication shown in the image below. If you do not know the answer, please select “don’t know.”
Note that the image may not be the same as its actual size.
○ Percocet® (oxycodone) ○ Roxicodone® (oxycodone) ○ Xtampza ER (oxycodone) ○ Generic short-acting Vicodin®-type generic (hydrocodone) ○ Vicodin® (hydrocodone) ○ Generic extended-release hydromorphone (hydromorphone) ○ Lorcet® (hydrocodone) ○ Enterol (oxyhydrone) ○ Opana® (oxymorphone) ○ None of the above ○ Don’t know |
Again, even though it might feel odd, can you talk through your thought process, while answering this question and deciding what medication is in the picture?
What did you notice first when you saw this picture?
What is your understanding of “active ingredient,” as it’s used here?
Did including the active ingredient with the name make it easier for you to identify the medication in the picture? Why or why not?
When you chose the name of the medication in the picture, how confident were you that it was correct?
Have you ever bought or been offered opioid pain medication from a dealer, friend, or family member?
IF YES:
How did you know it was actually what you were told it was?
How confident were you that the drug was what you thought it was?
Now, I’d like to ask you some questions about terms used to refer to opioid pain medications.
When you hear the term “prescription opioids,” what comes to mind?
When you hear the term “opioid pain medications,” what comes to mind?
Do you think the terms “prescription opioids” and “opioid pain medications” refer to different things or the same thing? Why?
If you were talking to a friend about these types of medications, what would you call them?
If you were talking to a dealer about these types of medications, what would you call them?
That covers all the questions I wanted to ask today. Is there anything else we should know about this topic that we didn’t discuss today?
Thank you, again, for participating in this study. As I mentioned before, all your comments will remain secure to the extent permitted by law. Your input has been extremely valuable, and we really appreciate your time.
