OPEN CLINICAL STUDY (Texas): Reducing High School Athletes’ Prescription Opioids Misuse and Diversion Through the Student Athlete Wellness Portal

The goal of this study is to prevent prescription opioid misuse among high school athletes by developing, demonstrating the feasibility, and evaluating the outcomes of an innovative digital intervention.

The new program, the Student Athlete Wellness Portal (SAWP), will be a brief, web- and smartphone-based curriculum, and will encourage resistance to cultural influences to misuse prescription opioids. This portal, which was created based on formative interviews with athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, and school administrators, will be tested in a feasibility trial in four Texas high schools.
