Prior opioid exposure influences parents' sharing of their children's CYP2D6 research results.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To determine parents' use of their children's CYP2D6 research result. We hypothesized that perceived utility, likelihood of sharing and actual sharing of results would differ between parents with children previously exposed (cases) or unexposed (controls) to opioids.

Methods

We returned results by phone (baseline). We surveyed parents about perceived utility and likelihood of sharing their child's research result at baseline, and actual sharing at 3 and 12 months.

Results

Cases were more likely than controls to agree that they (p = 0.022) and the doctors (p = 0.041) could use the results to care for their child, to report higher likelihood of sharing (p = 0.042) and to actually share results with the child's doctor (p = 0.026).

Conclusion

Prior opioid expos
