Funded Activity Summary

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability in Australia with a disproportionate burden borne by Aboriginal populations. Despite the existence of proven treatments, adherence to therapy is a major problem. Based on the use of well-established survey methods involving patients, GPs and pharmacists the study seeks to better understand the reasons for non-adherence and why different strategies to address this may or may not be effective.
