First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether sending a brief prompt to patients before their primary care visit helps them talk to their doctor about stopping unnecessary medications or starting a statin. About 1,700 adults aged 65 and older will be randomly assigned to receive the prompt or usual care. The goal is to see if this simple nudge leads to medication changes on the day of the visit or within 60 days.

Active substance
pre-visit prompt (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show a simple way to improve medication management in primary care, helping older adults avoid unnecessary drugs or start beneficial ones.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage behavioral study, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is just a prompt—it may not change actual prescribing or patient outcomes.
