### What's the research problem OPTIMAL is addressing?
We treat each disease separately. This means we prescribe a different drug for each condition, which may not help people with four or more long-term health problems. (We say these people have complex multimorbidity or "**cMM**".) A drug for one disease can make another disease worse or better. But there’s no information on the effect of one drug on a second disease. This means we are not sure which drug to prescribe in these people.
