Habit hack: worksheet boosts Pill-Taking in heart and depression patients
NCT ID NCT06230978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a habit-building worksheet and a chat with a pharmacist could help people remember to take their new long-term medications for heart disease or depression. Thirty-three adults who were starting a new chronic pill took part. The goal was to see if the worksheet was easy to use and if it helped form stronger pill-taking habits compared to standard pharmacist advice alone.
