About
STOP-FALLS-D is an educational intervention to inform and activate patients, their care partner(s), and their primary care providers to work together to reduce use of central nervous system (CNS) active medications and prevent adverse outcomes (falls and injuries) associated with their use.
Full description
The study design is a pragmatic, one-arm pilot trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a deprescribing intervention with older people with dementia and their care partners in primary care. The intervention consists of patient-facing educational brochures on CNS-active medications and decision support for the primary care provider. Ethnic/minority groups will be over-sampled to ensure a diverse study sample.
