Investigation of a Patient Support Intervention for Statin Medication Adherence

United States2,200 participantsStarted 2026-04-20

Plain-language summary

Statins have been demonstrated to significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but adherence to these medications is suboptimal. Improving adherence can be challenging because it is multifactorial and behaviors often occur within the everyday lives of patients and are less addressable during a visit with a clinician. In this study, the investigators will conduct a randomized trial to evaluate a behaviorally-designed gamification intervention with remote nursing support to improve statin adherence.
