In response to growing interest in employing behavioral treatments and environmental modification for behavioral disturbances in older adults, we employed vignette methodology to examine physicians' acceptance of two behavioral treatments and haloperidol using Kazdin's Treatment Evaluation Inventory. Physicians assigned the highest acceptability ratings to the behavioral treatments and the lowest ratings to haloperidol. The patient's cognitive capacity, living situation (nursing home vs. community), and the type of behavior problem mediated treatment acceptability ratings.
