Pharmacy practice
-
This study was conducted to assess pharmacists' practices when counseling patients on their prescription medications, and their preferences for training. ⋯ Community pharmacists are in a unique position to help combat the opioid crisis; however, there has been very little research on the pharmacist-patient interaction in this context. With policy changes, such as the PDMP mandate, going into effect across the country, it is important to capitalize on the potential community pharmacists have in ameliorating the opioid crisis in the United States.
