[Pharmwaste] Take back presentation - overprescribing

[Jaramillo, Jeanie]

Hello All,

I gave a presentation last week at the National Association of State Controlled Substances Authorities Conference in Savannah.  I presented some of the data that our program has collected over the last 5 years specific to controls.  I am working on a manuscript with a group from Maine at current, but wanted to share with this group in case you are interested.  I believe the info in the charts within this PowerPoint are a strong indicator of the prevalence of over-prescribing; particularly of controlled substances.
