Developing a PRogram to Educate and Sensitize Caregivers to Reduce the Inappropriate Prescription Burden in Elderly with Alzheimer's Disease Study (D-PRESCRIBE-AD)

Funder: National Institutes of Health

PI: Jerry Gurwitz, University of Massachussetts

Period of Performance: September 30, 2020 - August 31, 2025

Objectives

During the R33 phase we will sequentially implement two separate pragmatic trials, each enrolling over 11,000 patients, adapting the second trial based on the findings and experience gained in the first. The R33 aims are: (1) to assess the impact of the patient/caregiver educational intervention on inappropriate prescribing to AD/ADRD patients, employing a prospective, cluster randomized trial design with three arms; and (2) to create a plan for disseminating study findings to stakeholders who might implement the intervention or make decisions about its future use.
