National Survey on Seniors and Prescription Drugs
finds that 4 in 10 Seniors do not take medications as prescribed;
Poor experiences with drugs and costs contribute to Non-Adherence
Four in 10 seniors told researchers in a recent
national survey that they haven't taken all the drugs their
doctors prescribed for them in the past year - either because
the costs were too high, because they didn't think the drugs
were helping them, or because they didn't think they needed
them. The survey of 17,685 seniors was conducted by the Kaiser
Family Foundation, the Commonwealth Fund and Tufts-New England
Medical Center.
