Patient-physician racial/ethnic concordance and blood pressure control: the role of trust and medication adherence.
The researchers examined the associations between racial/ethnic concordance and blood pressure (BP) control to determine whether patient trust and medication adherence mediate these associations. They found that higher levels of trust were associated with better medication adherence and a tendency toward better BP control, irrespective of patient–physician racial/ethnic concordance.
