Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Despite proven benefits in reducing morbidity and mortality, many patients become nonadherent to statin therapy within the first year of starting. Due to their accessibility and frequent patient contact, pharmacists are well-positioned to improve medication adherence.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a simple intervention by community pharmacists can improve statin adherence in new statin users.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pharmacy Intervention Arm

All patients receiving statins from pharmacies allocated to the pharmacist intervention arm of the study

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CPATCH intervention to support statin adherence

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Routine identification of new statin users (first year of therapy), consistent assessment of barriers to adherence at every dispensation for these patients, reassurance about efficacy and safety, and proactive response to identified adherence barriers.

Usual Care

Pharmacies not allocated to the intervention arm will serve as the control. They received no training on the CPATCH intervention and provide usual care to patients at their pharmacy.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
