“To take or not to take: The association between perceived addiction risk, expected analgesic response, and likelihood of trying novel pain relievers in self-identified chronic pain patients” - Andrew Tompkins - 2017 - Addiction - Wiley Online Library
Probability discounting refers to the effect of outcome uncertainty on decision making. Using probability discounting, we examined the degree to which self-identified chronic pain patients (CPP) were likely to try a novel analgesic medication given increasing addiction risk. We postulated that propensity for opioid misuse, trait impulsivity, and previous opioid experience would be positively associated with likelihood of risky medication use.
