This $243,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a 5-year study to address the issue of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use among older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) receiving home health care.

The key objectives are to: 1) Identify factors and barriers/facilitators associated with routine PIM deprescribing practices for ADRD patients in home health care, using a mixed methods approach; and 2) Test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a home health care-based deprescribing intervention for this population in a one-group pre-post clinical trial. The ultimate goal is to develop an evidence-based deprescribing intervention that can be further tested in a larger clinical study. The award was granted to the University of Rochester to leverage their expertise in geriatric home-based care and medication management research.
