title: Validating the Medication Risk Questionnaire with Family Caregivers of Older Adults.
abstract: This study supports the validity of the 8-item version of the Medication-Risk Questionnaire (MRQ8). The MRQ8 can identify higher-risk patients via family caregivers and target them for medication review and other preventive intervention. It also enables pharmacists to collaborate with family caregivers in identifying older adults at high risk for medication-related problems.
