Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Patients who have been prescribed Low Dose Aspirin (LDA) usage in the past 12 months, or those about to begin LDA, will complete a one-time in-office survey using an electronic personal digital assistant (PDA) device (termed SitePro).
2420 subjects stratified into three groups varying on length of time using Low Dose Aspirin (LDA)
3Up to 20 subjects from the three EMA groups will be interviewed to further debrief their experience with Low Dose Aspirin (LDA) and upper GI symptoms.
