About
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of anticoagulation self-monitoring coupled with an educational intervention in a minority underserved population.
Full description
Despite favorable results and enhanced patient convenience, the adoption of patient self-monitoring for anticoagulation therapy has been limited primarily to non-minority and higher socioeconomic status individuals. While effectiveness has been studied, the factors influencing the adoption of self-monitoring of anticoagulation in minorities with the most barriers to accessing quality care in specialized clinics, are not known.
Hypothesis: Patient centered education and training intervention for minority patients will result in effective adoption of self-monitoring of anticoagulation therapy, resulting in anticoagulation control of comparable quality to that seen in specialized anticoagulation clinic-based monitoring.
