CTSA Visiting Scholar — High risk yet often overlooked: Improving opioid safety for complex older adults

The opioid crisis response has largely overlooked multiple patient populations with complex opioid-related vulnerabilities, including older adults with cancer or dementia.

Join Andrew Roberts, PharmD, PhD for a presentation of findings from his KL2-funded work examining high-risk opioid use patterns and outcomes in older adult cancer survivors. He will also discuss future directions for work informing opioid safety interventions for older adults with cancer and dementia.
