Summary

Polypharmacy, regular use of 5+ prescribed medications, is common among older adults and potentially harmful. Patients differ in their concern about medications, comfort in raising questions about them, and trust and confidence in physician judgment. This pilot observational research will determine older adults' readiness to "deprescribe," that is, stop prescribed medications under physician guidance.
