Opioid prescriptions following behavioral health training among primary care providers
In a large Southern California healthcare system, the TNT training program preceded a reduction in primary care providers' prescription rates of opioids. If replicated in larger samples, a low-cost provider training program has the potential to promote more judicious use of opioids for pain management. We encourage more studies to understand the program's long-term impact on physician behavior and, potentially, on patient outcomes.
