Summary

CO-LEAD is an intervention to improve patient-provider communication and medication adherence among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

The purpose of this study is to optimize the culturally appropriate delivery and test the effect of the CO-LEAD intervention, which includes the following:

1. clinicians will be provided with a program to teach them to use effective communication strategies with patients to review real-time pharmacy refill date, engage and formulate solutions to adherence barriers, and collaboratively overcome adherence barriers.
2. use of a reliable and valid patient-reported measure of the extent of and reasons for nonadherence that helps patients identify and communicate their adherence barriers with clinicians proactively, efficiently, and comprehensively.
