Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how opioid prescribing patterns change over time in response to state-level opioid restrictions from 2006 to 2018 using Poisson regression analysis.
- It finds that opioid prescriptions peaked in 2012 and that states with restrictions show statistically significant decreases in prescribing rates compared to those without restrictions.
- The results indicate that while restrictions do lead to reduced opioid prescriptions, noticeable changes may take several years to become apparent after the restrictions are imposed.
