Subsample descriptives are as follows: For Usual Pain Score (All patients combined) 86 had complete data at all three time points 249 had complete data at time points 1 and 2 90 had complete data at time points 2 and 3 101 had complete data at time points 1 and 3 For Opioid use (All patients combined) 66 had complete data at all three time points 198 had complete data at time points 1 and 2 73had complete data at time points 2 and 3 74had complete data at time points 1 and 3

Opioid use is in MEDD mg. At time of consult, opioid use is based on amount of opioids patients report using on an average day in past week. At subsequent time points, opioid use is based on amount of opioids prescribed.
