Article Abstract
Introduction: An online interactive repository of available medication adherence technologies may facilitate their selection and adoption by different stakeholders. Developing a repository is among the main objectives of the European Network to Advance Best practices and technoLogy on medication adherencE (ENABLE) COST Action (CA19132). However, meeting the needs of diverse stakeholders requires careful consideration of the repository structure.
Methods And Analysis: A real-time online Delphi study by stakeholders from 39 countries with research, practice, policy, patient representation and technology development backgrounds will be conducted. Eleven ENABLE members from 9 European countries formed an interdisciplinary steering committee to develop the repository structure, prepare study protocol and perform it. Definitions of medication adherence technologies and their attributes were developed iteratively through literature review, discussions within the steering committee and ENABLE Action members, following ontology development recommendations. Three domains ( and )) branching in 13 attribute groups are proposed: . Stakeholders will evaluate the proposed definition and attributes' relevance, clarity and completeness and have multiple opportunities to reconsider their evaluations based on aggregated feedback in real-time. Data collection will stop when the predetermined response rate will be achieved. We will quantify agreement and perform analyses of process indicators on the whole sample and per stakeholder group.
Ethics And Dissemination: Ethical approval for the COST ENABLE activities was granted by the Malaga Regional Research Ethics Committee. The Delphi protocol was considered compliant regarding data protection and security by the Data Protection Officer from University of Basel. Findings from the Delphi study will form the basis for the ENABLE repository structure and related activities.

Background: Cancer survivors may be more likely to experience accelerated declines in physical function compared to cancer-free controls, but objective data and knowledge of preventive interventions are limited.
Methods: The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study was a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized trial conducted at 8 centers across the United States that enrolled 1635 sedentary adults aged 70-89 years and with physical limitations but who could walk 400 m at baseline, of which 371 (22.7%) reported a history of cancer.
Racial Disparities in Medication Adherence and the Patient-Provider Relationship: Does Racial/Ethnic Concordance Matter?
Health Serv Res

Nova Southeastern University, Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, Fort Lauderdale, USA.
Objective: To examine the impact of patient-provider racial/ethnic concordance on adherence to a prescribed medication regimen in marginalized populations with a focus on health issues related to hypertension, heart condition/disease, elevated cholesterol, and diabetes.
Study Setting And Design: Applying the Andersen-Newman Behavioral Model of Health Service Use, we estimate multivariate linear models to analyze the number of prescriptions filled by patients within a calendar year using publicly available data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), a set of large-scale surveys of families and individuals, their medical providers, and employers across the United States.
Data Sources And Analytic Sample: Data from MEPS on patient race/ethnicity and provider race/ethnicity were collected from survey years 2007 to 2017 as well as data to control for demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors.

. Departamento de Pneumologia do Hospital Infante D. Pedro, Unidade Local de Saúde da Região de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal.
Objectives: This study explores the relationship between inhaler visual identification, naming, and adherence outcomes, and evaluates the potential of combining these factors into a screening tool for identifying poor adherence.
Methods: This observational, prospective study included adult patients with COPD, asthma, or asthma+COPD who had been on chronic inhalation therapy for at least the past year. Data were collected through patient interviews and medical records.
SELF-REPORTED QUALITY OF LIFE, IMPULSIVITY AND NON-ADHERENCE TO IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE MEDICATION AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION: A COHORT STUDY.

Objective: Identify psychosocial risk factors for non-adherence to medication following liver transplantation.
Methods: We used the Medication Level Variability Index (MLVI) for the assessment of adherence in 52 subjects selected for a pre-transplant liver procedure and monitored them for 6 months following transplantation. Patients were divided into exposed and non-exposed groups according to adherence, and each group was analyzed using psychosocial variables: demographic characteristics, quality of life, impulsivity, resilience, anxiety and depression.
