Summary
This study looks at whether using a person's DNA to guide their prescriptions can reduce harmful side effects, especially falls, in older adults who take five or more medications. About 1,000 people over 65 who have had a fall will provide a cheek swab for DNA testing. Half of the doctors will get the DNA results to help them prescribe, while the other half will provide usual care. Participants will be followed for 6 months to track falls, medication changes, and any emergency visits.
