How best can we measure the burden of taking multiple medications?
03 May 2019
People may encounter difficulties when taking many medications. We want to be able to monitor how burdened people might become, so that we can help. One way is to rely on self-reports using questionnaires. We want to ask members of the public (patients and family members) about their views and opinions about how best to assess medicine burden. The study will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, and will involve one-to-one interviews. £25 thank-you vouchers available as a token of appreciation.
