Study Description

Brief Summary: This trial uses a survey to study parent and caregiver practices on the storage, use, and disposal of opioids in a comprehensive cancer center. It is not known if parents and/or caregivers are aware of the guidelines and recommendations for proper and safe disposal of opioids. This survey will help health care providers assess the needs and improve the safety of patients and their families from the potential dangers of misuse and abuse of prescription opioid medications.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the frequency of unsafe storage, use, and disposal of unused and currently used opioids by parents and/or caregivers of patients 18 years and younger at MD Anderson Cancer Center. II. To explore potential association between other covariates with the unsafe storage, use, and disposal of opioids. OUTLINE: Participants complete online survey on an iPad over 20 minutes.
