L’objectif

We assess whether a brief online buprenorphine training program (Buprenorphine Understanding in the Pharmacy Environment) improves community pharmacists' outcomes, including willingness to dispense buprenorphine.

Constatations/points à retenir

A brief buprenorphine training increased pharmacists' willingness to dispense buprenorphine. Although generalizability of the results may be limited by use of a convenience sample, our pharmacist-oriented training showed promising results and may be an important step in increasing availability of buprenorphine in community pharmacies.
