About this study

Patient-based surveys will be conducted to evaluate the drivers of medication adherence in patients treated with either 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy, alpha-blocker (AB) therapy, or combination therapy for enlarged prostate (EP). Adherence with EP therapy will be evaluated. The researchers believe that the majority of participants will report that they are compliant with therapy. The data source is a cross-sectional patient survey administered at one time point.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Compliance With Medication

    Compliance was calculated based on the participant's response to the following question: "In general, how many times did you miss taking your prostate medication?" Responses were measured on a 5-point scale. Participants who answered "I never miss a dose of my medication" were considered compliant. All other responses were considered non-compliant.

    Measured: Cross sectional survey administered once to each participant during a 17-month study period (May 2009 to September 2010)
