Deprescribing Aspirin for Older Adults
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This online, survey-based experiment will include 2,400 adults who are 65 years and older (n=1,200 each from the United States and Australia). Each participant will be asked to share their opinions on a hypothetical patient scenario developed by our multidisciplinary team. This work is expected to significantly contribute to the understanding of how older adults make decisions about deprescribing medications. The long-term goal is to enhance communication between older adults and clinicians so that medication regimens are optimized and align with care preferences. These results will directly inform future research on the impact of communication choices in clinical practice.
