Stakeholder engagement in adoption, implementation, and sustainment of an evidence-based intervention to increase mammography adherence among low-income women.
The purpose of this document review study was to create a conceptual framework to guide stakeholder engagement in an evidence-based intervention to increase mammography appointment adherence in underserved and low-income women. The document review results were aligned with the constructs of the conceptual framework and an application of stakeholder engagement in an evidence-based mammography intervention. The researchers concluded that both the conceptual framework constructs and the stakeholder engagement strategies can be utilized across a range of organizations, programs, and settings.

Systemic barriers in receiving electronically prescribed glaucoma medications.
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to quantify glaucoma medication treatment interruptions attributable to electronically prescribed medications and recommend interventions to reduce this barrier. The researchers reviewed Glaucoma medication refill requests received over a 6-week interval, and then contacted patient pharmacies 1 month after the request date to determine whether the medication was picked up by the patient. Patients who did not pick up the prescriptions were contacted and consented to participate in a survey to identify the barriers to getting the medications. The study found that a prior authorization requirement was significantly associated with patients not obtaining their medication, as well as insurance coverage (32.2%) and availability of the medication at the pharmacy (22.6%). The study concluded that due to the need for prior authorization, insurance coverage, and pharmacy availability, approximately one third of electronically prescribed glaucoma medications were not picked up by patients within one month of the refill request.

Exploring mHealth potential to improve kidney function: secondary analysis of a randomized trial of diabetes self-care in diverse adults.
This study examined whether REACH, a text message-delivered self-management support intervention, which focuses on medication adherence, diet, and exercise can significantly improve glycemic control in 506 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The authors used data from the trial to explore the intervention’s effect on change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGR) at 12 months in a subsample of 271 patients. Patients with proteinuria at baseline who received REACH had less worsening of eGFR.

Impact of hydroxyurea dose and adherence on hematologic outcomes for children with sickle cell anemia.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the contributions of hydroxyurea dose and medication adherence to the association between hydroxyurea exposure and hematologic parameters in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA.) Using data from children with SCA who were enrolled in two prospective hydroxyurea adherence studies, the researchers assessed the association by video of directly observed therapy or electronic pill bottle and medication administration record. Forty-five participants were included in the analysis. The study reported that higher exposure was related with higher fetal hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume. The researchers concluded that higher hydroxyurea dose was related with improved hematologic parameters and is affected by level of prescribed dose and adherence.

Inferring medication adherence from time-varying health measures.
The purpose of this study was to explore an approach to infer medication adherence rates based on longitudinally recorded health measures that are likely impacted by time-varying adherence behaviors. A modular inferential approach was utilized, which included fitting a two-component model on a training set of patients with detailed adherence data. The researchers assessed the method on a cohort of hypertensive patients, using baseline socio-demographic measures, health comorbidities, and blood pressure measured over time to infer patients' adherence to antihypertensive medication.

Provider and patient-panel characteristics associated with initial adoption and sustained prescribing of medication for opioid use disorder.
This study examined primary care provider (PCP) and patient-panel characteristics associated with initial adoption and sustained prescribing of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The authors assessed a retrospective cohort from 2015 to 2018 within the Pennsylvania Medicaid Program. Participants included PCPs who were Medicaid providers, with no history of MOUD provision, and who treated 10 or more Medicaid enrollees annually. The authors identified 113 rural and 782 urban PCPs who engaged in initial adoption and 36 rural and 288 urban PCPs who engaged in sustained prescribing. Rural/urban PCPs who prescribed increasing larger numbers of antidepressant and antipsychotic medications had greater odds of initial adoption and sustained prescribing compared to those that did not prescribe these medications. Each additional patient out of 100 with opioid use disorder diagnosed before MOUD adoption increased the adjusted odds for initial adoption 2% to 4% and sustained prescribing by 4% to 7%. New Medicaid providers in rural areas were 2.52 and in urban areas were 2.66 more likely to engage in initial MOUD adoption compared to established PCPs.

Perceived health competence predicts health behavior and health-related quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease.
The authors sought to evaluate the effect of perceived health competence on health behavior and health-related quality of life. They found that perceived health competence was highly associated with health behaviors and health-related quality of life, while low perceived health competence was associated with a decrease in health-related quality of life between hospitalization and 90 days after discharge. They concluded that perceived health competence predicts health behavior and health-related quality of life in patients hospitalized with cardiovascular disease as well as change in health-related quality of life after discharge.

Perceived effectiveness, self-efficacy, and social support for oral appliance therapy among older veterans with obstructive sleep apnea.
Adherence to oral appliance therapy may be influenced by patients' perceived effectiveness of the therapy, self-efficacy, and availability of social support. The researchers examined these perceptions among older adults with obstructive sleep apnea who were prescribed oral appliance therapy. They concluded that only about one third of older adults perceived it as an effective treatment, were confident about oral appliance use, and/or believed that they would receive needed support.

Trends in antihypertensive medication discontinuation and low adherence among Medicare beneficiaries initiating treatment from 2007 to 2012.
The authors analyzed a 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries initiating antihypertensive medication between 2007 and 2012 to assess whether reductions occurred in discontinuation and low adherence. They found that low adherence decreased and was more common among racial/ethnic minorities, beneficiaries with Medicaid buy-in, and those with polypharmacy, and was less common among females, beneficiaries initiating antihypertensive medication with multiple classes or a 90-day prescription fill, with dementia, a history of stroke, and those who reached the Medicare Part D coverage gap in the previous year. They concluded that although low adherence has decreased, rates of discontinuation and low adherence remain high.

Primary adherence to controller medications for asthma is poor.
The objective of this study was to compare real-world adherence, including both primary and secondary adherence, to the major controller regimens (inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), leukotriene antagonists (LTRAs), or ICS/long-acting b-agonists (ICS/LABAs) in diverse, insured populations. It found that adherence to controller medications is poor and many patients do not ever fill prescriptions for controller medications. However, primary adherence to ICSs was better than to LTRAs and ICS/LABAs.

Agreement between rheumatologist and patient-reported adherence to methotrexate in a US rheumatoid arthritis registry.
To determine the extent to which methotrexate (MTX) adherence is overestimated by rheumatologists, the researchers deployed an Internet survey to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participating in a US registry. They found that MTX use was misclassified for 13-20 percent of patients, mainly because of 1 or more missed doses rather than overt discontinuation. Clinicians should be aware of suboptimal adherence when assessing MTX response.

Medication adherence may be more important than other behaviours for optimizing glycaemic control among low-income adults.
The authors sought to identify which behaviors are most important for HbA1c among low-socioeconomic status patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. They found that only medication adherence was significantly associated with lower HbA1c after adjusting for the other self-care behaviours and further adjusting for demographic and diabetes characteristics. They suggested that focused efforts to improve medication adherence among low-socioeconomic status patient populations may improve glycemic control.

Identifying configurations of behavior change techniques in effective medication adherence interventions: a qualitative comparative analysis.
The researchers aimed to extend the results from an existing systematic review of interventions to improve medication adherence by using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to identify necessary or sufficient configurations of behavior change techniques among effective interventions. They were able to identify seven configurations of behavior change techniques sufficient for improving adherence, which together accounted for 26 (76 percent) of the effective studies.
