Use and Discontinuation Rates of Long‐Acting Injectable Antipsychotics Between Race/Ethnicity in Older Adults Using Medicaid Databases
LAI first-generation antipsychotics showed treatment discontinuation significantly earlier compared to LAI second-generation antipsychotics. Furthermore, Blacks were prescribed LAI first-generation antipsychotics at a higher rate than Whites, which may contribute to poorer health outcomes. Futures studies are needed to establish a causal relationship.
