Peer Prescriber Support Strategies to Increase Buprenorphine Prescribing in Primary Care
Support from buprenorphine prescribers, both peer PCPs and external experts, may be a useful strategy for overcoming reluctance to prescribe buprenorphine in primary care. On-site peer mentors may be more readily available to urban providers. More research is needed to understand effective strategies for fostering rural peer prescriber mentorship networks, especially in the absence of on-site mentors. Future research should test innovative strategies for bolstering rural and urban addiction mentorship networks.
