The Walid-Robinson Opioid-Dependence (WROD) Questionnaire is a questionnaire designed based on the World Health Organization and the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders clinical guidelines for a definite diagnosis of “dependence” that require three or more of six characteristic features being experienced or exhibited:

  • (1) Do you desire to continue taking your opioid medication?
  • (2) Do you now experience lengthy periods of use or binge patterns of use?
  • (3) Do you have tremors and use substances to relieve withdrawal symptoms?
  • (4) Are you able to take more drug without easing the pain?
  • (5) Do you neglect food, hygiene or health care?
  • (6) Do you want to continue use the drug despite knowledge of problems caused or exacerbated by it?
