Summary

Our online, survey-based experiment will include 2,400 adults who are 65-years and older (n=1,200 each from United States and Australia). Each participant will be asked to give their opinions on a hypothetical patient scenario that has been developed by our diverse team in partnership with our stakeholder organizations.This work is expected to significantly contribute to our understanding of how older adults make decisions about deprescribing medications.
