Summary
This is a randomized controlled pilot trial to establish methodological feasibility and determine whether a web-based, continuing dental education intervention regarding opioid prescribing risk mitigation strategies - consistent with ADA guidelines - produces pre-to-post changes in knowledge, motivation, and behavioral skills pertaining to the use of risk mitigation strategies when prescribing opioids in dental practice. The current study involves completion of a self-report pre-test (dentists), randomization to complete ROPEs or attention control intervention, completion of a self-report post-test (immediately following intervention/control completion), and completion of 1-month self-report follow-up assessment.
