JUST GO AHEAD AND HELP OUT FOLKS (PHYSICIANS)!

October 16, 2013 Dear Indiana Licensed Controlled Substance Prescribers and Dispensers, On behalf of the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, the Indiana State Department of Health, and the Attorney General’s Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force, we request your assistance in achieving our mutual goals to address the increasing problem of prescription drug addiction in Indiana.  The survey is completely anonymous, and we will have no ability to track participants’ identities.  The instrument will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey was created in collaboration with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, the Center for Health Policy, the Indiana State Department of Health, and the Attorney General’s Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Task Force. The survey is being administered through the Center for Health Policy at the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI.  The Center for Health Policy will be solely responsible for analyzing the data and preparing a public report that summarizes the findings from this research.  The final report will be distributed electronically and be available on the Center’s website:  www.healthpolicy.iupui.edu in early 2014.  Their report will be used to improve the INSPECT program and provide better support to healthcare providers. Please click on the link below for additional details and to begin the survey. http://www.healthpolicy.iupui.edu/checkbox/INSPECT.aspx  Thank you in advance for your vital assistance with this endeavor! Sincerely, Greg Pachmayr INSPECT Director Indiana Professional Licensing Agency 402 W Washington St RM W072 Indianapolis, IN 46204
