Primary outcome was caregiver willingness to accept opioids for moderate pain for their children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Five hundred and seventeen caregivers participated; mean age was 40.9 (SD 7.1) years with 70.0% (362\/517) mothers. Children included 62.2% (321\/516) males with a mean age of 10.0 (SD 3.6) years. 49.6% of caregivers (254\/512) reported willingness to accept opioids for ongoing moderate pain in the ED, while 37.1% (190\/512) were \u2018unsure\u2019; 33.2% (170\/512) of caregivers would accept opioids for at-home use, but 45.5% (233\/512) were \u2018unsure\u2019. Caregivers\u2019 primary concerns were side effects, overdose, addiction, and masking of diagnosis. Caregiver fear of addiction (odds ratio [OR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01 to 1.25) and side effects (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.42) affected willingness to accept opioids in the emergency department; fears of addiction (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.32), and overdose (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.27) affected willingness to accept opioids for at-home use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Only half of the caregivers would accept opioids for moderate pain, despite ongoing pain following nonopioid analgesics. Caregivers\u2019 fears of addiction, side effects, overdose, and masking diagnosis may have influenced their responses.
