- Abstract
Factors Associated with Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Use Among US Physicians: National Electronic Health Record Survey 2018-2019 Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP) are state-level electronic databases that collect and make available information regarding controlled substances (e.g., opioids) prescriptions.[1],[2] PDMPs have proven effective tools for addressing the prescription drug abuse epidemic.[1],[3] However, clinicians' PDMP use is still suboptimal - the registration rate of PDMPs among prescribers was 35% in 2014.[2] There is limited research on the up-to-date prevalence and determinants of PDMP use among physicians. PDMP use was assessed using a question about the frequency of checking PDMP before prescribing a controlled substance, and we categorized those who responded " I often i " and " I sometimes i " as PDMP users and " I rarely i " and " I never i " as non-users.
