dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this pilot study was to assess and measure the impact of education to prescriber's regarding the use of a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP); and further to assess for change in prescription provider’s perceptions and intent to utilize PDMP. Implementation of prescriber education, to increase knowledge and intent to use PDMP’s can assist in identifying and treating prescription misuse or abuse. A cross-sectional, pre and post, survey design was utilized to measure study objectives. Medication providers in a community psychiatric clinic that completed the effective approaches to reduce misuse or abuse of prescribed drugs program had a significant improvement in post-test perception and intent to use PDMP as compared to pre-test scores. Specifically, these results suggest post educational intervention prescriber's expected it was more likely than unlikely that they will use the PDMP in the next three months compared to pre intervention.	en_US
