Abstract:
Understanding Medication Self-Management Capacity among Older Adults Living in Low-Income Housing Communities ABSTRACT Background: Medication self-management capacity (MMC) is an individual’s cognitive and functional ability to self-administer a medication regimen as prescribed. Poor MMC is an issue in older adults often resulting in negative health outcomes and loss of independence. Therefore, understanding low-income older adults’ capacity to manage their medications may help identify individuals who are at risk for developing medication mismanagement and guide future intervention strategie

Background: In recent years there have been trends towards increased use of. nonprescription medicines and a greater number of products being switched from prescription-only to nonprescription status. When used properly nonprescription products can be safe and effective treatments, however it is not clear that patients do actually use these products in an appropriate manner. Despite this, there is currently only low level monitoring of nonprescription medicines to assess their use, efficacy and safety under actual clinical conditions of use.

Abstract:
Women with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often develop alcohol use disorders (AUD) resulting from the use of alcohol to self-medicate from negative affect. Research supports the relationship between comorbid PTSD and AUD, and studies with women additionally identify the role of rumination, or excessive thinking about distress and its causes, as a precipitating aspect leading to self-medication. Female-based data is sparse, however, regarding specific thought patterns and factors which trigger the need to self-medicate with alcohol. Numerous researchers have studied the relationship betw
