Use of benzodiazepines/BDZRAs by older adults in 2015, stratified by extent of use in the preceding year. Each horizontal bar shows the number of benzodiazepine/BDZRA dispensings in 2015. These bars are stratified by the extent of use in the previous year. For example, among older adults receiving no benzodiazepine/BDZRA dispensings in 2014, 10% had at least one dispensing in 2015; most of these adults had only 1–2 dispensings in 2015.
