Abstract

Little is known about the consequences of the opioid epidemic on people living with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). This study examined this issue in people who lived in the most impacted province by opioid overdoses in Canada (British Columbia (BC)) or one of the least impacted (Quebec (QC)), and examined the factors associated with opioid use.
