Abstract
In this study, older adults residing independently in the community were responsible for managing and taking a considerable number of medications on a daily basis. In addition, inadequate health literacy, poor adherence, and potentially inappropriate medication use were prevalent in this sample. The results also suggest that race may have played an important role in the risk of developing medication-related problems.
