The Research Question How and why do primary care physicians (PCPs) use medications including antipsychotics, as well as non-pharmacologic strategies, for symptoms of dementia? (Now published: http://jabfm.org/content/31/1/9.full )

What the Researchers Did Semi-structured interviews with 26 primary care physicians (PCPs): 16 family medicine, 10 general internal medicine In practice >3years in Northwestern Virginia, USA. Analysis: template, immersion/crystallization, thematic development.

What the Researchers Found PCPs prescribe antipsychotics and other medications for dementia symptoms to meet these four patient-oriented goals: Distress (agitation, etc.) Safety (threat to self/others, wandering, etc.) Functionality (interacting with others, etc.) Care maintenance (Ability to stay at home or in assisted living instead of higher levels of care)

What the Researchers Found PCPs see medications as more effective and less dangerous than evidence supports. For symptoms of dementia PCPs need: Dissemination of non-pharmacologic strategies which are as affordable, accessible, and efficacious as drugs. Practical patient and caregiver oriented guidelines for medications and non-pharmacologic management

What This Means for Clinical Practice For Symptoms of Dementia: Drug use should have patient-oriented goals in the context of this terminal illness Non-drug treatments are first line and should be employed whenever feasible Discussions with caregivers of patients with dementia should include the benefits and risks of all medications
