Validation of a Community Pharmacy-based Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Risk Screening Tool (PHARMSCREEN) (NIH HEAL Initiative)

Funded by the NIH HEAL Initiative^℠

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the criterion and concurrent validity of the Narcotic Score (NS metric) as a clinical measure of opioid misuse and use disorder and establish risk level thresholds within community pharmacies - an optimal - yet underutilized setting for identification and engagement of patients with opioid risk.
