Association of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Use with Opioid Prescribing and Health Outcomes: a Comparison of Program Users and Non-Users
• We asked if a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) changed opioid risks.• We matched early PDMP registrants with similarly prescribing non-registrants.• Prescribing risk generally decreased among both registrants and non-registrants.• Frequent PDMP users showed similar trends to inf requent users.• Factors other than PDMP appeared to have greater influence on prescribing trends.
