About Us
The Prescription Drug Misuse Education and Research (PREMIER) Center was established in December 2018 with the goal of reversing the devastating effects of controlled substance prescription misuse on families, communities, and the health care system. It is the first center at the University of Houston dedicated to prescription drug misuse research and education.
The PREMIER Center will address currently unmet needs, including leading research on controlled substance prescription medications, educating key stakeholders involved in the prescribing and dispensing of prescription medications (e.g., prescribers, pharmacists), and developing educational opportunities for practitioners and professional students.
