Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to:

1. 1.develop and validate a health behavior theory-based questionnaire to examine the older adults' and informal caregivers' determinants of deprescribing behavior
2. 2.assess the psychometric properties of this new instrument
3. 3.analyze the moderating influence of health literacy and locus of control on the effect of the determinants on deprescribing intention or behavior.

Study Population

For the purposes of this study, older adult are people aged 60 or older. Take at least 5 regular medications: the ageing process is often accompanied by an increasing burden of chronic illness, and consequently by chronic medication use that can lead to polypharmacy, defined as taking 5 or more medications. In this study informal caregiver refers to a family member, a friend that provide care or support to a dependent older person with physical or cognitive functions declines. The relationship between the informal caregiver and the care recipient is based on solidarity. Therefore, in this study those who provided informal care are: (a) working-age adults who care for older parents with disabilities, family members, neighbors or friends; (b) people of retirement age or older who care for their partner, family members, neighbors or friends

You may qualify if:

• Older adults
• Age 60 years or older;
• Taking at least 5 medications daily;
• Having at least one chronic condition.
• Informal caregivers
• They self-identified as a caregiver (defined as having any role in a family member or friend's management of health and/ or medication management) of an older adult who has 60 years old or older, that are taking at least 5 medications daily;
• The care recipient lived in the community (at home with or without the caregiver) or in a NH.

You may not qualify if:

• Older adults
• Suffering from psychiatric trouble;
• Past or present drug or alcohol dependency;
• Having a terminal illness;
• Inability to complete a written questionnaire in French due to a functional or cognitive impairment;
• Inability to understand and express oneself in French.
• Informal cariegivers
• Caregiver age under 18 years old;
• Caregivers who are paid for the care they provide;
• Caregiver inability to give consent and complete a written questionnaire in French;
• Caregiver inability to understand and speak in French.
