Study Summary
The overall objectives of this study are to improve medication adherence of patients and subsequent health outcomes. This study is designed to examine the existence of strong associations between social networks and health behavior. This study intends to demonstrate that social forces are particularly effective at building enduring habits for healthy behavior, specifically adherence to statin medication for this study. The investigators believe the improved medication adherence will result in fewer additional vascular events, following the most recent of these events, and will result in fewer patient hospitalizations. The investigators will leverage insights from the fields of social comparison (being provided with information about the actions of others prompts social comparison that can significantly influence behavior), social pressures (encouragement or discouragement from others is a powerful social force that can influence individual behavior), and social triggers (cues in the environment can motivate people to take certain actions and have powerful effects on purchasing behavior). The results of this study and experience gained from the implementation of these interventions will be used to inform new versions of a larger trial intervention to be tested in new patient cohorts in a rapid cycle framework.
