ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on helping World Trade Center (WTC) responders manage their medications better as they age. Many responders, especially those aged 50 and older, are taking multiple medications, which can lead to complications. The study aims to educate these individuals about their medications and encourage conversations with their doctors to safely reduce the number of unnecessary drugs they may be taking.
To participate in the trial, you need to be a WTC responder who is already part of a related study, be at least 50 years old, and currently taking specific types of medications, such as certain heartburn medications, sleep aids, or muscle relaxants. There are no exclusions, so if you meet these criteria, you might be eligible to join. Participants can expect to receive support and guidance on how to manage their medications more effectively, which could lead to better health outcomes and an improved quality of life.
