A successful intervention to improve medication adherence in Black patients with hypertension: Mediation analysis of 28-site TEAM trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We previously reported the main effects and cost-effectiveness of a successful multifaceted Team Education and Adherence Monitoring (TEAM) intervention to improve refill adherence in Black patients with hypertension. It is important to identify the key mediators or intervention components that contributed to this intervention effect.

Objectives

This study aimed to conduct a "mediation analysis" to determine which intervention components had the largest effect on refill adherence and assess patient satisfaction with pharmacy care.

Methods

A cluster-randomized trial was conducted among 576 Black patients in 28 pharmacies (14 TEAM, 14 control). TEAM participants were invited to 6 visits with a pharmacist-technician team that monitored the patient's blood press
