Brief Summary

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

Single center study to evaluate the feasibility of using 3 different strategies to measure adherence among children, adolescents, and young adults prescribed an anticoagulation medication

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational study with a maximum of 5 study visits during the 12-week study period. The study visit schedule has been designed to align with current clinical care practices. Adherence will be assessed via the EAMDs device, as well as by self-report measure in the BAT and by staff telephone inquiry regarding pharmacy refill data. Adherence data will be used to compute rates and trajectories of adherence to anticoagulants.

It is anticipated that this study will conclude in approximately 2 years, including data analysis.
