Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Will financial support improve heart failure quality of life?
* Will financial support improve medication adherence?
Participants will complete surveys on quality of life, social stress, and spending habits at their baseline visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive $500 at their baseline visit or $0 at their baseline visit. At their one month visit, quality of life and medication adherence will be assessed. These results will be compared between groups. The group that received $0 at their baseline visit will be provided $500 at their one-month visit and return for a two-month visit. At that visit, quality of life and medication adherence will be assessed. These results will be compared to their one-month results.
Researchers will compare the 1-month quality of life scores and medication adherence scores between the immediate financial support vs delayed financial support. Researchers will also compare 1-month vs 2-month quality of life and adherence data for participants who were randomized to the delayed financial support group.
