Fentanyl Treatment Survey from the Colorado Consortium Group
We need your help! The Colorado Consortium’s Provider Education Work Group is looking for feedback on current issues in fentanyl treatment and has a provider survey that they would like to disseminate widely. This survey should take no more than 5 minutes of your time, and will give us valuable information on the current state of fentanyl use and treatment in provider practices around Colorado. The Consortium would very much appreciate if you could also forward this survey to any other prescribers in your practice. For more information on this survey or how this data will be used, please contact Susanna.Cooper@CUAnschutz.edu.
