Improving Medication Adherence in Older African Americans With Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Primary Care-Occupational Therapy and Enhanced Usual Care for Type 2 Diabetes and Mild Cognitive Impairment. Completed, enrolled 101 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research aims to help older African Americans with diabetes and mild memory problems improve how they take their medications and control their diabetes. This may preserve their independence and health, prevent cognitive and functional decline, and reduce health care costs. As the population ages and becomes more racially diverse, finding ways to achieve these outcomes has great public health importance.
