RESEARCH & RESOURCES

Please feel free to peruse our collection of research and resources on the subject of Prescription Narcotics.  Advocates for Prescription Opioid Reform (APOR),  offers this information to show that there should be no question any more about the most important factor in preventing the harm the public has suffered from massive amounts of prescription narcotics.  Physician education and training  regarding opioid prescribing practices, has been lacking for the past 15 years.  It is the consensus of responsible experts that this needs to be addressed, if we are to stem the crisis.  Furthermore, you will see in the governmental material, that this reality has been routinely and consistently advised by experts, who have testified to our governing bodies.  They warned over and over that if this deficiency in the system was not addressed, the deaths and addictions would surely continue.

Our research material  is divided into two categories:  1. Medical, and 2. Governmental. 

In the
Medical category we hope to provide the most recent, as well as historic documentation on the subject of opioids and the management of pain.  In the Governmental category, you should be able to find archives of past government activities, such as FDA hearings, state hearings, congressional hearings, etc.  Clicking on the menu to the left subnavigation will bring you to those pages.  Thank you for visiting with us and if there is research or documentation that you feel should be included in this library, please submit it to us.

We think the most important piece of medical information regarding the treatment of chronic pain with opioids is the brochure below, called Myths & Facts Brocure, CAUTIOUS, EVIDENCE BASED OPIOID PRESCRIBING .  It was written and developed by Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing (PROP) and is a
must-read for any physician,  patient, or government official, who is involved  with prescription opioids.  It's content includes the most recent scientific research available on this subject matter.
