Please note definitions for terms used throughout this survey:
 
Opioids are drugs that reduce the feeling of short and long-term pain. Opioids fall into two categories: prescription and illegal.
 
Prescription opioids (e.g., hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, codeine, morphine, methadone, and fentanyl) are prescribed by doctors to treat moderate to severe pain. Illegal opioids (e.g., fentanyl, heroin) are drugs not prescribed by a doctor or bought at a drugstore and may sometimes be called "street drugs”.
 
Opioid misuse: When opioids are used incorrectly, it is referred to as opioid misuse. Opioid misuse happens when a person is not taking medication according to a doctor’s instructions, using them to get high, or taking another person’s medication.
