• Compared to the psychosocial/non‐opioid<br />
group…<br />
– the MA group was more authoritarian – which is<br />
consistent with tendency <strong>of</strong> authoritarians to be<br />
strict rule‐followers and adhere to clinical guidelines,<br />
which h in the VA (for example) l) specify that opioids<br />
id<br />
should be used when other therapies are not<br />
effective.<br />
– Not surprisingly, the MA group expressed a more<br />
positive attitude toward opioids, which suggests that<br />
education about safety and efficacy <strong>of</strong> opioids may<br />
be successful lin changing practice.
