Evaluate the Efficacy, Perceptions and Cost of an Innovative Cholesterol Packaging
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating packaging for Hypercholesterolemia. Completed, enrolled 240 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the overall study is to improve medication use rates among veterans by looking at the risk factors of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL). It will involve patients who have high LDL-C level (\<130mg/dl) and /or may have difficulty taking their medications based on how often they refilled their medications in the last 12 months. The investigators will test an innovative adherence packaging relative to usual care. The primary hypothesis is that veterans who receive the intervention will have greater improvement in their medication adherence as measured by pill refill at 6 and 12 months of follow up as compared to the control group.
