Examining factors associated with nonadherence and identifying providers caring for nonadherent subgroups.
This study examined racial/ethnic and regional differences in medication adherence in patients with diabetes taking oral anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, and cholesterol lowering medications and to identify the pharmacies and prescribers who serve these communities. After adjustment for other factors, Filipinos, Native Hawaiians, and people of other race were significantly less adherent to anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications than Japanese.
