Program Overview
The Current Opioid Misuse Measure (COMM) is a validated measure that has been computerized to reduce length and improve efficiency.
The COMM is a self-report instrument for identifying and monitoring opioid misuse in chronic pain patients taking prescription opioids for pain. The original COMM had 17 items that were empirically selected from a pool generated by pain management and addiction specialists. The COMM is intended to identify patients engaging in opioid abuse, opioid diversion, and opioid-seeking behaviors. Patients who score a 9 or above screen positive for opioid misuse. The COMM has been well-validated as a paper-and-pencil instrument. Researchers are adapting the COMM to be delivered via computer using a brief version of the COMM or using analytic methods to reduce the length of the COMM, based on the likelihood of a patient screening positive or negative.
