The purposes of this program are to provide an overview of gaps in understanding challenges that older individuals experience when taking medications, and to provide strategies and solutions for effective self-management to become more confident in the use of medications.  Research has largely focused on patient compliance from a health provider perspective, rather than studying the rational decisions individuals make when taking medications – referred to as intelligent non-compliance.  Lessons learned from individuals who have conquered challenges in taking medications are providing valuable insights into four basic steps to effective medication self-management.
