About
Dr. Amanda P. Stanton is a health services researcher whose work centers on the intersection of public policy, surgical practice, and the opioid epidemic. Her most-cited study, "Impact of Legislation on Opioid Prescribing following Hysterectomy and Hysteroscopy in Arizona and Florida" (2021), with 4 citations, provides critical insights into how state-level opioid prescribing laws influence postoperative care. In this retrospective cohort analysis of nearly 3,000 patients, Dr. Stanton examined oral morphine equivalents (OMEs) prescribed and refill rates after common gynecologic surgeries, revealing the real-world effects of legislative interventions on physician behavior and patient outcomes. Her research offers evidence to guide safer prescribing practices and inform policymakers. By quantifying the impact of regulatory changes, Dr. Stanton contributes to a growing body of knowledge aimed at curbing opioid misuse while ensuring adequate pain management. Her work is particularly valuable for clinicians, public health officials, and researchers seeking to understand how legal frameworks shape medical decision-making in the ongoing effort to address the opioid crisis.
