Title: Prescription drug misuse: issues for primary care - final report
Summary: The misuse of prescription medicines is an internationally recognised problem associated with a number of health and social harms. Qualitative research by the University of Auckland, funded by the National Drug Policy Discretionary Grant Fund, provides a valuable insight into prescription drug misuse in New Zealand through the eyes of primary healthcare practitioners and experts in drug policy and treatment. The authors have also looked at how New Zealand compares to countries such as Australia and USA in terms of available data, as well as summarising possible policy approaches to addressing prescription drug misuse.
