The talk will discuss the rise of federally-funded, state-operated prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs), the algorithmic risk scores they generate, the lack of validity of those scores, and their potential to discriminate against various protected classes, including women, racial minorities, and individuals with disabilities and, thereby, provoke poor health outcomes. The talk will conclude with proposed legal and policy solutions intend to mitigate the potential discriminatory impacts of PDMP algorithmic risk scoring.
