Description:

Musculoskeletal Disorders and Prescription Opioid Use among U.S. Construction Workers

Xiuwen Sue Dong, Raina D. Brooks, and Samantha Brown. Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020.

J Occup Environ Med. 2020 Nov;62(11):973-979. doi: 10.1097/JOM.0000000000002017.

The opioid crisis has had a substantial impact on the U.S. workforce, particularly construction workers. Studies have found that both the prevalence of opioid use and death rate due to opioid overdoses were significantly higher among construction workers than for workers in other industries. Previous CPWR research suggests that work-related injuries were strongly associated with higher prescription opioid use among construction workers, and approximately one-fourth of the industry’s nonfatal injuries are musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Most studies on construction workers evaluated MSDs and opioid use separately; others were either clinical research or estimates based on workers’ compensation data in nonconstruction settings, which cannot meet the needs of occupational surveillance and intervention in the construction industry. This study analyzed a large national survey dataset—the 2011-2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS)—to examine the relationship between MSDs and prescription opioid use among construction workers.
