Summary

This study tests a program called MI-CARE, where a pharmacist and a community health worker work together to help people with high blood pressure take their medications as prescribed. The team identifies and addresses personal, social, and cultural barriers to medication adherence. The study includes 217 African-American or Latino adults who take at least five chronic medications and have low adherence. The goal is to improve medication use and lower blood pressure.
