Improvement in Medication Adherence Through the Implementation of Personalized Nudges: the ENCOURAGE Trial
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Medication Adherence
In brief
This study will determine whether a complex, data-driven protocol for assessing patient needs and providing "nudges" (reminders to be adherent with medication prescriptions) improves adherence with cardiovascular medications. This will be accomplished by performing a 12-month clinical trial of patients with an indication for statin therapy. Participants will be randomized to either an intervention or standard-of-care arm and will be followed via passive electronic means to determine if they are adherent with medication prescriptions.
