Brief Intervention as a Method to Reduce Z-Hypnotic Use by Older Adults: Feasibility Case Series

Brief Intervention as a Method to Reduce Z-Hypnotic Use by Older Adults: Feasibility Case Series

Evidence supports brief interventions (BIs) for reducing z-hypnotic and benzodiazepine use [18]. A BI is a specific structured intervention method that aims to facilitate and encourage a behavioral change in the patient. We developed a BI based on the framework suggested by Babor and Higgins-Biddle [19]. This framework has previously been used as an early intervention for patients at risk of substance abuse and is effective in treating patients at risk of alcohol overuse.
