Most ADHD drugs prescribed for very young children are off-label, which is concerning owing to lack of safety and efficacy data in this vulnerable population.
Before training, survey responses from recruited participates indicated the need to discuss opioid use disorder among university students is important. Use of a training model involving large-group audiences followed by small-group practice sessions offers an acceptable educational solution regarding opioid overdose and prevention. Our experience suggests using this training model to educate university students to recognize and provide first response is a feasible and acceptable approach.
NPs overall prescribe in a similar pattern to physicians when given the authority to prescribe controlled substances for ADHD. Comparisons between prescriber types for controlled substance prescribing by age should be explored further to identify possible variance from national guidelines.

Objective. To describe the features of pharmacy law education in Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs in the United States. Methods. A review of the literature found no prior published data describing the delivery of pharmacy law education across PharmD programs in the United States. Members of the Pharmacy Law Educators Subcommittee of the American Society for Pharmacy Law (ASPL) developed questions for a survey. The survey was administered electronically to all 139 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) member institutions in the summer of 2016. A link to complete the 32-item online survey was distributed via email to the pharmacy law educator or associate dean at each AACP member institution. Results. Of the 139 PharmD programs surveyed, 49 completed the survey instrument, yielding a response rate of 35.2%. Variations between programs were found in the professional background of pharmacy law instructors and assessment strategies for pharmacy law courses, as well as in the structure and placement of the main pharmacy law course within the various curricula. Conclusion. This pilot study represents the first and only known attempt to examine delivery of pharmacy law education across colleges of pharmacy. The variations between programs found in this study highlight the need for further investigation into this area of pharmacy education.
