- description
- The unsafe storage of opioids is defined as having opioids in the open where anyone can see it, in a medicine cabinet that is not locked, or hidden but not locked. Will estimate the proportion along with a 95% confidence interval. The distribution of the primary outcome by demographic information will be presented in cross tabulations. The association between the primary outcomes and demographic information/other behavior will be explored by Chi-Squared test or Fisher's exact test when appropriate. Logistic regression models may be employed to assess the effect of demographic factors on the unsafe storage of opioids. Other statistics methods may be used when appropriate.
