Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Statins are cholesterol lowering medications that reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However adherence to these medications has been found to be lower among minorities, a group particularly vulnerable for heart disease. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a phone based behavioral intervention to mailed educational materials regarding how to control cholesterol and other risk factors. We hypothesized that the behavioral intervention will improve adherence to statins by 15%.
