Prevalent concomitant alcohol and medication use among older adults is placing this group at risk for adverse health events. Given limited existing interventions to address concomitant alcohol and medication risk (AMR), a brief educational intervention was demonstrated. The purpose of the current study was to examine change in AMR behaviors 3 months post-education among older adult drinkers. A convenience sample of 58 older adult drinkers (mean age = 72) was recruited and followed ( = 40; 70% at follow-up), from four pharmacies in rural Virginia. Findings indicated decreased alcohol consumption in high-risk drinkers. Future research should explore methods to sustain reduced AMR.
老年人中普遍存在酒精与药物同时使用的情况，这使该群体面临健康不良事件的风险。鉴于现有的针对酒精与药物同时使用风险（AMR）的干预措施有限，一种简短的教育干预措施得到了验证。本研究的目的是调查老年饮酒者在接受教育3个月后AMR行为的变化。从弗吉尼亚州农村地区的四家药店招募了58名老年饮酒者（平均年龄 = 72岁）作为便利样本并进行跟踪（随访人数 = 40；随访率为70%）。研究结果表明，高风险饮酒者的酒精消费量有所下降。未来的研究应探索维持降低AMR的方法。
