Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-center pilot study to examine the effectiveness of a health literacy-based intervention to improve medication adherence and self-efficacy of medication use among individuals with coronary heart disease (CHD). The specific aims are to: i) develop a health literacy-based intervention to improve medication adherence for CHD individuals with low health literacy and ii) evaluate the effects of a health literacy-based intervention on improving medication adherence and self-efficacy in CHD individuals.


Clinical Trial Description

The project will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 is to develop the health literacy-based intervention that consists of a video and an education booklet. Phase 2 is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. A total of 60 participants with low health literacy and diagnosed with CHD will be recruited in two settings. Data will be collected at baseline and 4-weeks after enrollment. The following data will be collected:

At baseline: Socio-demographic information (e.g. age, gender, education level, income, past medical history, social support), health literacy (eligibility screening at time of recruitment), CHD knowledge, medication adherence, and medication self-efficacy.

4-weeks after enrollment: medication self-efficacy and medication adherence. ;
