Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Hypothesis: Can a counseling intervention, delivered by a pharmacist, increase inhaler adherence in veterans with COPD who have demonstrated poor inhaler adherence through pharmacy refill records? Veterans who receive who receive daily maintenance inhalers from the William S Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital Pharmacy and who have a medication possession ratio less than 80% over the previous six months will be invited to participate in the study. This study will randomize 100 participants to a usual care arm or a pharmacist counseling intervention. Final data collection will be six months after randomization to determine if both self-reported and refill record adherence has changed.
