Implementation of Medication Disposal Programs and Availability of Same-Day Naloxone at Community Pharmacies: Protocol for a Secret Shopper Caller Approach

To address the opioid crisis, pharmacies have participated in prescription drug monitoring programs, implemented medication disposal programs, and dispensed naloxone and other medications for opioid use disorder [1]. Despite efforts in the United States to reduce the number of opioid prescriptions through prescribing guidelines [5,6] and drug monitoring programs [7,8], about 39.5 opioid prescriptions were dispensed per 100 persons in 2022 [9].

Are Treatment Services Ready for the Use of Big Data Analytics and AI in Managing Opioid Use Disorder?

Supply restriction interventions include reducing unlawful access to opioids through law enforcement and reducing inappropriate lawful access by influencing physician opioid prescribing practices through Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs and clinical guidelines [2,3]. Harm reduction interventions include opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) programs, drug checking, syringe service programs, and supervised injection facilities [4].

Naloxone Coprescribing and the Prevention of Opioid Overdoses: Quasi-Experimental Metacognitive Assessment of a Novel Education Initiative

In 2020, of the 91,799 drug-related overdoses in the United States, 75% involved an opioid [1]. Naloxone is an invaluable tool to prevent opioid overdose [2], and coprescription initiatives (or programs to encourage providers to prescribe naloxone to patients receiving opioids) are a common, important intervention to reduce fatal overdoses.

The Use of Natural Language Processing Methods in Reddit to Investigate Opioid Use: Scoping Review

To help further studies more efficiently address opioid-related research questions using social media data, we identified the different strategies used to carry out semantic analyses of opioid-related content, compiled their lists of opioid-related terms (produced either by automatic variant generator tools or by word embedding) or similar words, and curated their content, creating a refined version where the terms are aggregated by abbreviation, misspelling, variants and their misspellings, brand names and

Design and Implementation of an Opioid Scorecard for Hospital System–Wide Peer Comparison of Opioid Prescribing Habits: Observational Study

The United States is in an opioid epidemic originally partially fueled by legitimate but inappropriate rates of opioid prescriptions [1-4], with additional waves associated with nonprescription opioids [5]. Reducing inappropriate opioid prescribing by health care providers is a key element of mitigating the risk of long-term opioid use and potential dependence for patients [6-10].

Public Perceptions of Treating Opioid Use Disorder With Deep Brain Stimulation: Comment Analysis Study

Many countries, including the United States, recognize the psychological, social, and economic burdens of opioid addiction [13,14]. Several of these countries have implemented preventative measures, like prescription restrictions and prescription drug monitoring programs, to minimize refractory opioid use disorder (OUD) [15,16] mortality rates [17,18].

Care Integration for Hepatitis C Virus Treatment Through Facilitated Telemedicine Within Opioid Treatment Programs: Qualitative Study

Specifically, we used a facilitated telemedicine model integrated into 12 opioid treatment programs (OTPs) throughout New York State [7,8]. Facilitated telemedicine is an approach to health care delivery that combines social interactions between patients and staff (ie, case managers and clinical staff) with bidirectional videoconferencing between patients and geographically separated providers to promote trust.

Data-Driven Identification of Potentially Successful Intervention Implementations Using 5 Years of Opioid Prescribing Data: Retrospective Database Study

However, there was also evidence that opioid prescribing remains a persistent public health problem in England, with higher rates of prescription in areas of higher deprivation and evidence that long-term prescribing was associated with opioid overdose and dependence.
