摘要：For a decade, the United States witnessed a significant increase in drugs’ prescriptions, especially opioids/narcotics,which created new crisis threatening the population’s health. Many reasons contributed to this phenomenon such asoverprescribing, overusing, and misusing, where many parties have a stake in the outcomes, including physicians. In2011, and due to the increase of unlawful use and drugs’ overdose fatalities, many health organizations, private andpublic, joined forces to develop an electronic and centralized database system where drugs’ prescriptions can becarefully monitored and managed by healthcare professionals, known as the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program(PDMP). Since then, much research was conducted to assess PDMP’s outcomes. However, this study serves as a followupand an identifier of any changes in the PDMP effects after it became a mandatory in 47 states., Within this process,the study will address the role of the Planned Behavior Theory behind utilizing and scaling PDMP at the national level.A quantitative research method is applied as a comparative analysis of case studies conducted from 2009 to date on thecauses and effects of using PDMP, followed by a survey to validate and report any outcomes’ changes.
