The US Opioid Crisis

[Millhouse]

I saw a study done by Princeton researchers of opiod prescriptions written from 2006-2014. Basically "Economics professors Molly Schnell and Janet Currie, the co-authors of the study, discovered that physicians who attended top medical schools wrote significantly fewer opioid prescriptions than those who completed their initial training at lower ranked schools. Further, between 2006 and 2014, nearly half of all opioids prescribed by doctors were issued by general practitioners."

Pretty interesting that there could be a correlation between where a doctor went to school and the number of opiods he/she may prescribe.
