This book will use California’s CURES 2.0 data, which was submitted to the national Prescription Behavior Surveillance System (PBSS) database, to analyze county-level opioid prescribing rates in California from 2012 to 2017 in multiple ways.  The current project will present California’s county-level opioid prescribing trends, examine potential correlates of opioid prescribing rates, assess the effects of opioid prescribing on both criminal justice and public health outcomes, and consider this project’s overall key findings and the implications for policy and practice.weiterlesen
