Open source

Quick takeaway

This outpatient randomized trial addressed medication nonadherence in older hypertensive adults and linked a package intervention to better adherence, quality of life, and blood pressure outcomes.

Why this matters

Directly relevant to routine chronic-disease prevention because missed medicines are a common everyday failure point.

Key caution

Single-setting delivery and allocation by lots raise some implementation and bias questions compared with larger multicenter trials.
