Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Computerized Medication Adherence System at Reducing Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases

In brief

High blood pressure and high cholesterol are both causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it is important for people with these conditions to adhere to their medication regimens. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a computerized program that provides individualized feedback to participants and their doctors for increasing medication adherence among people at risk of developing CVD.
