Summary

The proposed study is a pilot study to gather data on the effectiveness and feasibility of a software tool (EMPATHy) to help patients communicate effectively with doctors about problems they face with their medication regimens. EMPATHy will be incorporated into an existing clinic-based intervention called Coached Care, in which community health workers (CHWs, non-professional community members) work as a "Coach" to patients to help them improve engagement and communication during the medical visit.
