Glaucoma medication adherence among African Americans: program development.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo elucidate barriers and facilitators related to glaucoma medication adherence among African Americans (AA) with glaucoma and to elicit input from a community-based participatory research team to guide the development of a culturally informed health promotion program for improving glaucoma medication adherence among AAs.
methodsThe nominal group technique (NGT), a highly structured focus group methodology, was implemented with 12 separate groups of AA patients with glaucoma (N = 89) to identify barriers and facilitators related to glaucoma medication usage. Participant rank-ordering votes were summed across groups and categorized into themes. Next, an individually and culturally targeted health promotion program promoting appropriate medication adherence was developed based on focus group results and input from a community-based participatory research team.
resultsThe top five barriers included problems with forgetfulness, side effects, cost/affordability, eyedrop administration, and the eyedrop schedule. The most salient top five facilitators were fear or thoughts about the consequences of not taking eyedrops; use of memory aids, cues, or strategies; maintaining a regular routine or schedule for eyedrop administration; ability to afford eyedrops; and keeping eyedrops in the same area. The resulting health promotion program was based on a multicomponent empowerment framework that included glaucoma education, motivational interviewing, and problem-solving training to improve glaucoma medication adherence.
conclusionsBarriers and facilitators related to glaucoma medication adherence among AAs are multifactorial. Based on the NGT themes and input from the community-based participatory research team, a culturally informed health promotion program was designed and holds great promise for improving medication adherence among this vulnerable population.
