Study, May/16: Benzos are Prescribed More Often to Patients Already at Risk

This American study is called "Benzodiazepines are Prescribed More Frequently to Patients Already at Risk for Benzodiazepine-Related Adverse Events in Primary Care". It's one more in long line of many that show how problematic the prescribing patterns are with regards to benzodiazepines. I'm not sure how many more studies we need on this same theme before significant and appropriate action is taken.

Ugh- I shall live long enough to endure another public health crisis.  This one I was ensnared in, too.  It's coming.  How it shall come will probably be via some celebrity.  WBB
