Obstetrician/Gynecologist Perception of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Effectiveness [15I]

Abstract

Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) are primary prevention tools designed to reduce rising rates of substance use disorders (SUD) and sequelae such as neonatal abstinence syndrome. Evidence regarding OB/GYN perceptions of PDMPs, which may impact PDMP utilization, is unavailable. This study examines perceived PDMP effectiveness among OB/GYNs compared to primary care physicians (PCPs).
