Completed
An ad hoc committee will organize an open, two-day workshop to discuss behavioral economics research with the goal of extending the research to be of benefit to older populations. Specifically, there will be a focus on considering interventions that could generate long term benefits in areas such as (1) decreasing sedentary behavior; (2) promoting volunteering and social engagement; (3) reducing inappropriate use of opioids and using opioids when medically necessary; and (4) improving medical regimen adherence.
