About the AvertD Study
Doctors and other healthcare providers use the AvertD test to help identify people who might be more likely to develop an Opioid Use Disorder after taking certain types of pain medication. An Opioid Use Disorder develops when someone has a problem with stopping the use of opioids, which are strong pain-relieving medications. The purpose of this research study is to understand how well the AvertD test works in real-life situations in people with different demographic backgrounds and living in different areas of the United States.
