A poster or flier titled "Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPS)". It is divided into two sections.
The first section has the subtitle "Checking the PDMP: An Important Step to Improving Opioid Prescribing Practices". Below the title there is another subtitle that reads "What is a PDMP?" with a paragraph and several bullet points of explanatory text. To the right of the text there is a map of the United Sates with the text: " 249M prescriptions for opioids were written by healthcare providers in 2013 enough prescriptions for every American adult to have a bottle."
In the second section there is the subtitle: "When should I check the PDPM?" With text explaining that state requirements vary but the CDC recommends at least once every three months and prior to every opioid prescription. To the left of this text there is a text box explaining that checking a PDMP improves opioid safety.
A footer at the bottom of the page indicates the poster was created by the Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Health and Human Services.
