Effectiveness of low-cost reminder package combined with case-based health education to improve hypertensive patients medication adherence: a clustered randomized controlled trial

摘要

PurposeMedication adherence (MA) is a key factor for hypertensive patients’ blood pressure control and forgetfulness is one of the main reasons that cause medication non-adherence. If effective, low-cost reminder package (LCRP) has great potentials for large-scale promotion. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining LCRP and health education to improve MA among hypertensive patients.
