Translational Psychiatry · 2023-05-13 · 53 citations

While the association between assets and depression has been established, less is known about the link between financial strain and depression. Given rising financial strain and economic inequity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding the role that financial strain plays in shaping population depression in the United States is particularly salient. We conducted a scoping review of the peer-reviewed literature on financial strain and depression published from inception through January 19, 20…

Methodological considerations on estimating medication adherence from self‐report, electronic monitoring and electronic healthcare databases using the TEOS framework

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology · 2022-05-02 · 22 citations

AIMS: Measuring adherence to medication is complex due to the diversity of contexts in which medications are prescribed, dispensed and used. The Timelines-Events-Objectives-Sources (TEOS) framework outlined a process to operationalize adherence. We aimed to develop practical recommendations for quantification of medication adherence using self-report (SR), electronic monitoring (EM) and electronic healthcare databases (EHD) consistent with the TEOS framework for adherence operationalization. MET…

Geriatric Conditions Associated with Nonadherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Among Older People with HIV: The Importance of Frailty

AIDS Patient Care and STDs · 2022-06-01 · 12 citations

Poor compliance with medications is a growing concern in geriatric care and is increasingly more relevant among people living with HIV (PLWH) as they age. Our goal was to understand geriatric conditions associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) nonadherence in a Medicare population of older PLWH. We analyzed Medicare data from PLWH aged 50 years or older who were continuously enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Prevalent geriatric conditions (dementia,…
