Community Health Workers' and Pharmacists' Perspectives of a CHW‐Pharmacist Collaboration Model to Support Medication Adherence
INTRODUCTION: Interprofessional collaboration is key in supporting patient medication adherence. Community health workers (CHWs) can bridge the gap between community and health services and can collaborate with pharmacists to support medication adherence. A collaborative CHW-pharmacist practice model was developed in the United States of America (USA), where CHWs and pharmacists collaborate to develop an action plan to address medication adherenc…
A Qualitative Study to Explore the Influence of Condition Prioritisation in People With Coexisting Diabetes and Hypertension on Medication Adherence
BACKGROUND: Managing multiple chronic conditions often requires people to make treatment decisions, particularly when faced with competing demands. This usually leads to condition prioritisation, where one condition is prioritised over the other. Considering that diabetes and hypertension are closely linked, prioritising medication for one condition over the other can have serious health implications. This study aimed to explore condition priorit…
Interprofessional Collaboration Between Community Health Workers and Pharmacists
BACKGROUND: Community health workers (CHWs) can bridge the gap between health and social services and the communities they serve. CHWs can work collaboratively with healthcare professionals, such as pharmacists, in addressing peoples' social determinants of health.

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of urate self-monitoring in people with gout. METHODS: Semistructured interviews were conducted with people taking urate-lowering therapy (N = 30) in a 12-mont…

However, the health literacy levels and health locus of control (HLOC) beliefs of women who use CMPs in pregnancy and lactation have not been previously assessed in a large Australian sample. AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the health literacy levels and HLOC beliefs of …
Eliciting preferences for continuing medication among adult patients and parents of children with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder
BACKGROUND: Adherence to medication for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is less than optimal. Previous studies have primarily focused on qualitative assessment of factors that influence medication adherence. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to quantify the factors that influence patient and parent preferences for continuing ADHD medication. METHOD: A discrete-choice experiment was conducted to investigate preferences. Adults, and paren…
Developing and user testing new pharmacy label formats—A study to inform labelling standards
BACKGROUND: Dispensed prescription medicine labels (prescription labels) are important information sources supporting safe and appropriate medicines use. OBJECTIVE: To develop and user test patient-centred prescription label formats. METHODS: Five stages: developing 12 labels for four fictitious medicines of varying dosage forms; diagnostic user testing of labels (Round 1) with 40 consumers (each testing three labels); iterative label revision, a…
Opt‐in or opt‐out health‐care communication? A cross‐sectional study
BACKGROUND: Patients need medication and medical condition-related information to better self-manage their health. Health-care professionals (HCPs) should be able to actively provide information outside of one-on-one consultations; however, patient consent may be required. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the Australian public's preferences, and factors that may influence their preferences, towards an opt-in versus an opt-out approach to health communic…
Exploring factors influencing initiation, implementation and discontinuation of medications in adults with ADHD
BACKGROUND: Adherence to ADHD medication is a complex phenomenon as the decision to adhere is influenced by a range of factors. To design tailored interventions to promote adherence, it is important to understand the factors that influence adherence in the context of its three phases: initiation, implementation and discontinuation.

Blood glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes – Nepalese patients’ opinions and experiences
BACKGROUND: Blood glucose monitoring forms a vital component of diabetes care. Monitoring conducted at home using glucometers, and in laboratories by professionals, are two common methods of blood glucose monitoring in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To investigate Nepalese patients' perceptions and practices of blood glucose monitoring in diabetes. METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted with 48 Nepalese participants with type 2 diabetes in Sy…
Nepalese patients’ anti-diabetic medication taking behaviour
This study demonstrates that Nepalese patients are likely to delay or cease anti-diabetic medications until they fully accept and acknowledge the benefits and necessity of medications for effective diabetes management. Thus, educating patients about the need for medications, as well as implementing strategies to address patients' psychological resistance towards medications will be essential for effective medication management
Perceived impact of Nepalese food and food culture in diabetes
‘It's all there in black and white’ – or is it? Consumer perspectives on the proposed A ustralian M edicine I nformation B ox over‐the‐counter label format
BACKGROUND: Over-the-counter (OTC) labels help support safe medication use by consumers. In 2012, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) released a consultation paper proposing OTC label standardization to improve label quality via implementation of the Medicine Information Box (MIB) label. However, consumer opinions of the MIB and standardization of OTC labelling remain unexplored. OBJECTIVE: To explore consumer perspectives of OT…
Development and validation of a question prompt list for parents of children with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder
OBJECTIVES: Question prompt lists (QPLs) are structured lists of disease and treatment-specific questions intended to encourage patient question-asking during consultations with clinicians. The aim of this study was to develop a QPL intended for use by parents of children affected by attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS: The QPL content (111 questions) was derived through thematic analysis of existing ADHD- and QPL-related res…
Beyond needs and expectations
Purpose This study aimed to explore peoples’ needs and expectations of written medicines information (WMI), and to determine the barriers and facilitators experienced or perceived in the context of WMI provision and use. Methods We conducted eight focus groups with 62 participants over 6 weeks in late 2008 in New South Wales, Australia. Using a semi‐structured topic schedule and examples of WMI from Australia and other English‐speaking countries …
