A Strategy to Reduce Opioid Drug Prescribing by Clinicians

Under the auspices of the Oral Health Section of the NC Department of Health and Human Services clinician-investigators from the UNC Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department are conducting a survey to assess current analgesic prescribing practices in NC with a goal of eventually reaching consensus among clinicians for a wide range of procedures and conditions where pain control is important for successful patient outcomes. We hope that about 850 dentists and 600 physicians will agree to take part in this research study. Participation in this Qualtrics survey e-mailed in mid-February 2019 will take about 15 minutes or less.
