About this trial
This research protocol is exploring a behavioral intervention: shared decision making with the use of a decision aid to select a post-operative analgesic. Specifically, the investigators will examine the impact of shared decision making on analgesic selection for acute pain management when 2 options are presented to the patient as compared to 3 options which includes an opioid prescription for "just-in-case" pain management. The investigators hypothesize that significantly more patients will choice an opioid option when the "just-in-case option is included.
