Abstract | Background: Prescription opioids (POs) have had a devastating effect on people and public health systems in the U.S. Due to the urgency and complexity of the opioid crisis, there is a need to expand qualitative research on the medical community's perspectives on opioid prescribing practices and the role that prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) have played in mitigating this crisis. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews with clinicians ( Results: Respondents consistently recognized the role clinicians played in the opioid crisis and reported reductions in their opioid prescribing, which were motivated by the crisis itself. The limitations of opioids in pain management were frequently discussed. While clinicians appreciated having greater awareness of their opioid prescribing and increased access to patient prescription histories, they also expressed concerns about surveillance of their prescribing and other unintended consequences. We observed that clinicians in opioid prescribing hotspots had more detailed and specific reflections on their experiences with the Massachusetts PDMP, MassPAT. Conclusion: Clinician perceptions of the severity of the opioid crisis in Massachusetts and thoughts on their role as prescribers were consistent across specialty, prescribing level, and practice location. Many clinicians in our sample cited use of the PDMP as an influence on their prescribing. Those practicing in opioid overdose hotspots had the most nuanced reflections about the system. |
