Summary

The use of packaging interventions like pillboxes or blister packs has been shown to significantly improve medication adherence. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of home-delivered pill packs on medication adherence in a low-income population. This is an open-lab randomized controlled trial taking four or more medication doses daily, randomized either to the intervention group or the control group. Patients in the intervention group received prescriptions pre-packaged in individual packets that were delivered by the pharmacy. Patients in the control group continued to receive medications from pharmacies as they did prior to enrollment. The primary outcome was the percentage of missed pills in the intervention group versus the control group after four months of enrollment.
