- Abstract
Unhealthy alcohol and opioid use are growing problems among older adults who are at increased risk for harms from both alcohol and opioid use. Primary care practices can play an important role in addressing this problem, but need support in implementing evidence-based practices. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has several initiatives to help primary care practices better diagnose and manage unhealthy alcohol and opioid use to improve health outcomes among older adults.
