The purpose of this study was to determine whether primary care providers (PCPs) in Mississippi are following the selected Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines published in March 2016 for prescribing opioids for chronic, non-cancer pain.

Overuse injuries in the pediatric population constitute a substantial healthcare problem. Approximately 50% of pediatric sports-related injuries occur from overuse (McLeod et al., 2011).
