Background:
A large proportion of the prison population experiences substance use disorders (SUDs), which are associated with poor physical and mental health, social marginalization, and economic disadvantage. Despite the global situation characterized by the incarceration of large numbers of people with SUD and the health problems associated with SUD, people in prison are underrepresented in public health research.
Objective:
The overall objective of the PriSUD (Diagnosing and Treating Substance Use Disorders in Prison)-Nordic project is to develop new knowledge that will contribute to better mental and physical health, improved quality of life, and better life expectancies among people with SUD in prison.
Methods:
PriSUD-Nordic is based on a multidisciplinary mixed method approach, including the methodological perspectives of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The qualitative part includes ethnographic fieldwork and semistructured interviews. The quantitative part is a registry-based cohort study including national registry data from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The national prison cohorts will comprise approximately 500,000 individuals and include all people imprisoned in Norway, Sweden, and Demark during the period from 2000 to 2019. The project will investigate the prison population during three different time periods: before imprisonment, during imprisonment, and after release.
Results:
PriSUD-Nordic was funded by The Research Council of Norway in December 2019, and funding started in 2020. Data collection is ongoing and will be completed in the first quarter of 2022. Data will be analyzed in spring 2022 and the results will be disseminated in 2022-2023. The PriSUD-Nordic project has formal ethical approval related to all work packages.
Conclusions:
PriSUD-Nordic will be the first research project to investigate the epidemiology and the lived experiences of people with SUD in the Nordic prison population. Successful research in this field will have the potential to identify significant areas of benefit and will have important implications for ongoing policy related to interventions for SUD in the prison population.

Background
Since 2008, patients with chronic, non-malignant pain conditions can get reimbursement for analgesic opioids. There is limited evidence of analgesic effect of opioids when used over a long time period while the risk of adverse effects is increasing. Thus, closely monitoring of opioid consumption at the population level to detect signs of escalation is needed.
Objectives
To investigate whether there has been a change in the number of long-term users of prescribed opioids over time and according to reimbursement scheme (reimbursed opioids for palliative care, reimbursed opioids for chronic, non-malignant pain, or non-reimbursable opioids).
Methods
Data were retrieved from the Norwegian Prescription Database. The study population consisted of all individuals filling at least one prescription of an opioid (ATC N02A) during 2010-2019. Long-term use was defined as being dispensed more than 180 defined daily doses or more than 4500 mg oral morphine equivalents of opioids a given year and filling prescriptions in at least 3 quarters of the year. Individuals were divided into mutually exclusive groups according to reimbursement scheme in a hierarchical manner; reimbursed opioids for palliative care > reimbursed opioids for chronic, non-malignant pain > non-reimbursable opioids. The proportion of long-term opioid users according to reimbursement scheme was calculated.
Results
The number of long-term opioid users increased from 49,993 in 2010 to 59,996 in 2019. The increase over time was almost solely attributed to an increase among chronic, non-malignant pain patients. The number of long-term users receiving non-reimbursable opioids and opioids for palliative care remained stable over time. In 2019, the majority of the 59,996 long-term users received non-reimbursable opioids only (n=38,006), followed by long-term users receiving opioids for chronic, non-malignant pain (n=14,812), and long-term users receiving palliative care (n=7,178).
Conclusions
The number of long-term opioid users have increased by 20% (10,000 individuals) over an 11 years period in Norway due to an increase in number of long-term users receiving reimbursed opioids to treat chronic, non-malignant pain. More studies are needed to understand whether the introduction of the reimbursement scheme for chronic pain patients has been a contributing factor to the observed increase in number of long-term opioid users and why the majority of the long-term opioid users do not receive opioids according to the reimbursement scheme for chronic, non-malignant pain.
