Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate how direct-to-patient interventions can help older adults stop using long-term benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BZRA) and improve their sleep through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI).
- The research compared two mailed behavior change programs against usual treatment (TAU) to assess their impact on BZRA use, sleep quality, and overall health.
- Conducted in New Brunswick, Canada, the study involved 565 participants aged 65 and older who had been using BZRA for an average of 11.4 years and explored the effectiveness of different informational booklets on reducing BZRA reliance and enhancing sleep outcomes.
