All genders
A cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) called "Reducing Risk of Dementia through Deprescribing" (R2D2) to evaluate the impact of a deprescribing intervention on important cognitive and safety outcomes.  This study will evaluate the effects of the use of a program to reduce prescribing of a group of commonly prescribed medications called anticholingerics that may adversely effect cognitive functioning in older adults. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - ResNet data managers will identify physicians from the medical records of Community Health Network, and these participating physicians' patients will be approached for recruitment.' They may be contacted by phone or during clinic visits upon referral from physician.  Physicians agreeing to participate in the study will be randomized to intervention or usual care in random blocks of two or four and stratified by clinic site. Physician randomization status will determine participants’ study groups. Physicians randomized to usual care will not have access to the intervention. Physicians are not the subjects of the study. The subjects are the patients of the physicians. Physicians will not be aware of how or when their patients are being recruited or for what studies they will be offered.

The Indiana Biobank is a research study started in 2010 by Indiana University School of Medicine and IU Health. The Indiana Biobank is like a giant library—but instead of books, it holds over 60,000 blood and other samples. Each sample is connected to the person’s medical records. The person’s name and personal details are removed before researchers can use the samples. These samples help doctors and scientists discover better ways to treat and prevent diseases!When you donate a small blood sample, you’re helping researchers learn more about how to keep people healthy. Your sample is unique, and it can help make sure future treatments work for everyone.Watch this video to learn more:
