ABOUT THE COURSE
The proportion of the population that is over the age of 65
is growing globally. Those in the baby boomer cohort will soon all be age 50 or
older. Along with the increasing numbers
in this older age cohort, there is a parallel upward trend of alcohol use and
other drug use in older adults. As we age alcohol and other drug use places us
at greater health related harm. This course provides the learner with an
overview of the growing prevalence of at-risk substance use in older adults and
strategies for the prevention and reduction of substance use associated harm.
These strategies include an evidenced based approach called screening brief
intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT). The course will provide
information relevant to improving health and reducing substance use related
harm for those who are older, their primary care givers and health care
providers.
