Patient and clinician perspectives on optimizing graphical displays of longitudinal medication adherence data.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

New pharmacological measures assessing medication adherence, including longitudinal drug levels in hair, are emerging. Little is known, however, about how best to present results from such measures to patients and clinicians in comprehensive, easy-to-understand, acceptable formats. We, therefore, developed three graphical display prototypes of hypothetical daily drug concentrations measured in hair, and assessed their acceptability among participants.

Methods

We interviewed 30 HIV-positive patients and 29 clinicians to examine perceived acceptability for each graphical display prototype.

Results

Patients and clinicians generally found the prototypes acceptable for facilitating understanding of patient adherence; however, areas for optimization were identifie
