Perception of Medication Safety–Related Behaviors Among Different Age Groups: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Older adults perceived the identified safety behaviors as more important and reasonable than younger adults. However, both age groups considered a behavior highly recommended by professionals as the least important and reasonable. Patient engagement strategies, common and specific to age groups, should be considered to improve medication safety in ambulatory settings.
