What this Trial Is About
By 2030, the majority of World Trade Center (WTC) rescue and recovery workers (responders) will be aged 65 and over and at risk for aging-related conditions and consequences including the concurrent use of five or more medications (i.e., polypharmacy). The purpose of this research study is to investigate an educational approach targeting polypharmacy through de-prescribing unnecessary and burdensome medications via the support of informed discussions between WTC responders and their prescribing physicians.
