The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: N/A
Abstract
Adolescents with complications from opioid use disorder (OUD) regularly present to the emergency department (ED) for medical stabilization. Little data exists on pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians’ confidence in caring for these patients. Investigate PEM physician confidence in assessing and managing opioid and/or substance use-related complaints among adolescents presenting to the ED. Assess barriers to prescribing buprenorphine to patients in the pediatric ED.
