UNC ESOP SURVEY ON METHADONE ACCESS.
Please be on the lookout for an important survey on methadone access at community pharmacies that was sent by Delesha Carpenter from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy on April 1st, 2025 to community pharmacists who are currently practicing in NC. If you do not see the survey, it may be in your “other” tab or in your junk mail. Otherwise, you may not have received the survey because eligibility was limited to active NC pharmacists working at independent and chain pharmacies. Please email the study coordinator (Caroline Shubel: [email protected]) with any questions related to the survey. The survey will close on April 18th.
