What influences Australian pharmacists' decisions to supply opioids? Results from a survey and randomised controlled factorial experiment
Jurisdictional differences in refusal to supply were observed, while PDMP alerts were the strongest predictor of reduced likelihood to supply opioids in the factorial experiment. Unintended consequences of PDMPs including abrupt opioid discontinuation observed elsewhere, should be avoided following the implementation of this supply-side policy in Australia.
