The opioid epidemic has been particularly severe for workers in the construction industry, who are more likely to use opioids and to die of opioidrelated overdoses than workers overall. Following their studies on the associations with opioid use and injuries and musculoskeletal conditions among construction workers, the researchers examined types of pain and patterns of opioid and non-opioid analgesic use among these workers using data from the 2011-2018 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS).
