Abstract
Using North Carolina Medicaid 2016-18 claims data, we found that approximately one in ten adolescents (10.8 percent) filled at least one opioid prescription per year. Dentists, advanced practice providers, and surgeons were common prescribers of opioids to children. In addition, half of children who experienced opioid-related adverse events had filled opioid prescriptions in the prior six months.Entities:
