A framework for pharmacist-assisted medication adherence in hard-to-reach patients.
This study aimed to create a model for use in patient-centered, pharmacist-led interactions to improve medication adherence. The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), a behavioral change framework, was adapted to known barriers of medication adherence. The study concluded that the newly developed framework provides a patient centered approach to facilitate and improve pharmacist-patient conversations regarding medication adherence.

Impact of passive and active promotional strategies on patient acceptance of medication therapy management services.
The researchers assessed the impact of passive and active promotional strategies on patient acceptance of medication therapy management (MTM) services, and identified reasons for patient acceptance or refusal. No significant differences were identified among the four promotional methods or between active and passive methods in the analyses. Patients' most frequent reasons for accepting MTM services were potential cost savings and review of how the medications were working.
