Full description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a habit adherence workup delivered by pharmacy in primary care. The study population will include patients taking new medications for chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and depression.
This study uses a sequential design which involves first evaluating 16 patients without the added habit worksheet, and then the second phase evaluates 16 patients with the habit worksheet. All participants meet with the pharmacist and are provided standard counseling on the new medications. All participants complete the pre and post survey.
The pharmacist will be trained on the medication habit workup worksheet which has the patient choose cues they will use to develop their medication-taking habit. These will include associating the new habit with hygiene habits like toothbrushing, other habits like making coffee or eating breakfast, or visual cues like setting medications out where they will be easily noticed when doing other habits like getting dressed. Patients will take their sheet with them as a reminder of their plan. Patients also will receive medication counseling. The encounters will occur in a private clinic room.
All participants will complete baseline and follow-up surveys, which will include space for open-ended comments.
