Study Overview
At the Person-Centered Medication study, we are exploring whether a medication teaching program helps people understand their medications and to assist them with taking their medications as prescribed. The study is with generous funding from St. David’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research (CHPR).
The purpose of this project is to study whether a medication teaching program helps people understand their medications and to assists them with taking their medications as prescribed.
By participating in this study, participants may become more aware of the medications they are taking. Participation in this study may also help people who speak other primary languages in the future.
