Title	Advancing Patient Safety and Engagement Through the Use of a Patient-Centered Benzodiazepine Education Toolkit
Abstract	Substance use disorders have increased in the U.S. in the past 20 years, with opioid abuse causing over 70,000 deaths from 1999 to 2019. The growing public health problem necessitates developing a patient-centered educational toolkit. Patients on benzodiazepines who are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality are not engaged in their benzodiazepine management and need a specific educational tool to provide the necessary knowledge for medication management. In addition, there is currently no patient education to improve benzodiazepine safety or evidence-based program to enhance the partnership between the prescriber and the patient in many offices. Method/Design: The investigator developed an evidence-based patient education toolkit to enhance patients' knowledge about the safe use of Benzodiazepines and the risks of chronic Benzodiazepine use.
