"Though the present study does not provide direct evidence for these practices, their potential to improve adherence is intriguing," Dr. Salanitro and Dr. Kripalani, both of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., said (Arch. Intern. Med. 2011;171:822-3).
This study was supported by CVS Caremark, with additional support from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Two of the coauthors are employees of CVS Caremark. Dr. Kripalani reported ties to PictureRx, Pfizer, and Bristol-Myers Squibb/Sanofi-Aventis. Dr. Salanitro reported she did not have any relevant financial disclosures.
