[Agency] NIH [Project Title] IMPROVING ADHERENCE TO POST PCI ANTIPLATELET THERAPHY IN MINORITY POPULATIONS [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE [Amount] $498,034 [Summary] The focus of the proposed study is to examine a non-traditional care- management approach delivered by a large commercial health benefit carrier in the prevention of CVD secondary outcomes among disparity populations who have undergone coronary artery stenting (PCI). In particular, we seek to determine if a culturally tailored phone based Motivational Interviewing (MINT) intervention delivered to African American (AA) and Latino patients is effective at improving adherence to clopidogrel, a medically proven intervention that dramatically reduces stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and death, and that is standard of care for at least 12 months after stent placement according to ACC/AHA guidelines.
