Conclusions: Moderate-to-severe POUD is more frequent among adults who report misusing prescription opioids. However, 62% of adults with POUD do not report prescription opioid misuse, suggesting that adults who are treated with prescription opioids and report no misuse could be at risk for developing POUD. Results highlight the need to screen for and treat POUD among adults taking prescription opioids regardless of whether they report prescription opioid misuse.
