2021 CDC SURVEY RESULTS

Thank you for your interest in PNN’s survey on the five year anniversary of the CDC 2016 opioid prescribing guidelines. The survey was conducted online and through social media from March 15 to April 17, 2021.

A total of 4,185 people in the United States participated, including 3,926 who identified themselves as chronic, acute or intractable pain patients; 92 doctors or healthcare providers; and 167 people who said they were a caretaker, spouse, loved one or friend of a patient. There were no significant differences in responses between the three groups. Thanks to everyone who participated in this valuable survey.
