Abstract

The article discusses research which assessed interprofessional learner perceptions of a brief educational intervention tailored for opioid prescribing in older adults. The study evaluated pre- and post-intervention knowledge and confidence in medication safety and non-opioid treatment strategies. Findings revealed potential improvement of communication between providers and patients or their caregivers, as well as opportunity to educate caregivers and other providers.
