Adolescents' assessment of a Family Medication Safety Plan for opioid prescriptions: A qualitative usability study.
Article in Journal of the American Pharmacists Association : JAPhA. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWhen children are injured or have surgery, parents can be hesitant to fill opioid prescriptions and youth may be concerned about using these medications to manage pain. Parents cite a myriad of reasons why they worry about their child using opioids. The MedSMA℞T Families intervention, which includes a Family Medication Safety Plan (FMSP), is a tool designed to support families in learning and communicating about safe prescription opioid use in their homes and with health care providers.
objectiveThis study's first aim was to examine adolescents' experiences with using the FMSP. The second aim of this study was to identify opportunities for future improvement.
methodsAdolescents, aged 12-18 years, were recruited from April 2021 to October 2021. They were recruited through Qualtrics research panels, email listservs, social media, and snowball sampling. Adolescents reviewed the FMSP and then completed a semistructured follow-up interview with a study team member virtually. The interviews were professionally transcribed verbatim, reviewed by the study team for accuracy, and downloaded into NVivo for analysis. Main themes were identified using content and thematic analysis.
resultsAdolescents (N = 65) reviewed the FMSP and participated in the study. Adolescents found the FMSP to be acceptable and useful for prompting discussions with parents about not only opioids, but all medications being used by the youth. Study participants suggested key improvements such as the creation of a kid-friendly or Spanish language version to improve accessibility and uptake by a diverse population of teens.
conclusionAdolescents reported that the FMSP would be a helpful tool for their families. Implementing this tool at the point of prescribing or dispensing is a potential strategy to reduce the rates of opioid misuse, reduce hesitancy, and allow adolescents more agency regarding their health care and medication management.
