Development of a hydroxyurea decision aid for parents of children with sickle cell anemia.
This study developed a decision aid for use of hydroxyurea for parents of children with sickle cell anemia. There are national evidence-based guidelines, but they do not offer strategies for implementation. A multicomponent decision aid was developed via a needs assessment, clinic observations and iterative feedback. The decision aid was considered useful by the 75 parents and 28 clinicians who participated in all phases of the study.

Improving medication adherence and health outcomes in older adults: an evidence-based review of randomized controlled trials.
The objective of this review was to provide an updated summary of evidence from randomized controlled studies to determine whether interventions aimed at improving medication adherence also improve the health outcomes of older adults residing in community-based settings. This evidence-based review of medication adherence interventions in older adults revealed promising strategies in the larger context of a largely mixed body of literature.
