title: Tracking NP prescribing trends.
abstract: This article presents the results of three surveys on NP prescribing practices from 1996 to 2001. The data elucidate differences in prescribing practices by practice location, specialty, type of drug, and years of practice. We highlight prescribing trends and identify areas for future research.
