SCOSI-M: Preventing Prescription Drug Problems

"The design is primarily a pre-post, non-equivalent comparison group test of program effectiveness. If final sample size permits, we will examine program effects for each practice environment separately. For measures that require interview data there will be no comparison group data.~We will construct matched comparison groups of physicians for each environment for which only secondary data analysis will be conducted. The matched comparison group will be constructed using prescription data from the DoD's pharmacy data transaction system (MACH and DORN VAMC) and from SCRIPTS (community-based physicians and VA prescribers)."
