Due to numerous complications involving missed medication dosages, you implement a study to determine the best strategy for enhancing medication adherence. Patients who are on a daily medication regime will be recruited, will receive a complimentary 1- month dosage of their regular medication(s), and will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1 will serve as the control group (no treatment), and Group 2 will participate in a 1-hour in-person pharmacist-administered medication adherence workshop. At the end of 1 month, participants will present their prescription bottle(s); you will count the remaining pills and calculate the dosage adherence percentage (e.g., 0 pills remaining = 100% adherence).
