Prescribing patterns of psychotropic medications among people living with dementia after disasters
Psychotropic prescribing increased after Hurricane Harvey but not after Irma or Florence, suggesting context-specific factors may influence clinical responses during disasters. Our findings highlight the importance of incorporating person-centered care and appropriate behavioral health responses into disaster preparedness planning for the dementia population.
