Individual prescribing data profile and self-assessment

Prior to receiving his or her individual data profile, each provider in the intervention group will be asked to identify his or her self-assessment of his or her own opioid prescribing practices. Immediately after providing self-perception data, providers will be provided with their true profile data with a visual display of where they fall within the distribution of their peers. All peer data are de-identified.
