Hypothesis: Can a counseling intervention, delivered by a pharmacist, increase inhaler
adherence in veterans with COPD who have demonstrated poor inhaler adherence through
pharmacy refill records?
Veterans who receive who receive daily maintenance inhalers from the William S Middleton
Memorial Veterans Hospital Pharmacy and who have a medication possession ratio less than 80%
over the previous six months will be invited to participate in the study. This study will
randomize 100 participants to a usual care arm or a pharmacist counseling intervention.
Final data collection will be six months after randomization to determine if both
self-reported and refill record adherence has changed.
