Can a simple email stop risky prescriptions?

NCT ID NCT06443385

Summary

This study tested whether sending reminder emails to doctors and physician assistants could encourage them to use a state prescription tracking system more often. The goal was to see if this simple nudge would lead to safer prescribing of controlled substances like opioids. Researchers measured if the emails increased use of the tracking system and whether that led to fewer prescriptions that didn't follow safety guidelines.
