Brief Summary

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

Pharmacists are in the best position to counsel and educate patients on anticoagulant agents such as NOACs. This should enable patients to play a more active role in their treatment and ultimately enhance adherence behaviour. However, educational elements should be targeted to knowledge. Thus, the investigators will develop and validate a questionnaire that can assess knowledge about NOACs
