The growing use of prescription analgesic opioids has rapidly escalated the treatment of chronic pain since the 1990s; however, itis also highly needed to control opioid-related issues, including opioids misuse, abuse, and addiction. In 2018, Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) secretariat administered the survey on opioids use and policies to OECD countriesand presented it at the Health Committee meeting of December 2018. This study aimed to review the opioids use in OECD countriesand their policies to prevent and reduce associated harms, also seek the available policy lessons from OECD countries. More recently,opioids prescribing rate have been increased 14.7% between 2011?2013 and 2014?2016 and steadily focused on the main substancemisused and abused in Korea. In addition, policy efforts have contributed to developing a guideline for prescribing opioids to steerthe appropriate use of prescription analgesic opioids since 2000 in Korea, so it is not enough to control opioids compared with otherOECD countries. Therefore, taking a people-centered and public health perspective, it will consider the health system policies andinterventions at a national level to improve their preparation and approach to control opioid-related issues.
