The National Judicial Opioid Task Force (NJOTF), in collaboration with the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Training and Technical Assistance Center, held the first of three webinars earlier this month.   The series is designed to help participants gain greater knowledge about how state courts can, and already are, working with prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) to address the opioid crisis.

Part 2 of this series will address access to, and use of, information contained in PDMPs. Topics in the webinar will include:

• types of PDMP reports;
• court access of PDMP data;
• valuable uses of PDMP information in the justice system; and,
• other important topics.
