Objective: This study examined an intervention to
manage symptoms and adherence to oral agents.
Methods: A 3-group pilot study determined how an
Automated Voice Response (AVR) system alone (n = 40),
or the AVR with strategies to manage symptoms and
adherence (n = 40), or the AVR with strategies to manage
adherence (n = 39) reduced symptom severity and
improved adherence. Participants received a Symptom
Management Toolkit, completed a baseline interview, and
were randomized to receive 8 weekly AVR calls. An exit
interview occurred at 10 weeks.

8. article abstract
The number of elderly Americans, those over the
age of 65 years of age, continues to climb. A
lifetime of poor nutrition and lack of exercise has
led many elderly patients to experience coronary
artery disease (CAD) later in life, leading to
invasive procedures and other forms of disease
management that contribute to mounting health
care costs and lower quality of life… This paper will
explore three key disciplines linked to health
promotion in the elderly and why this topic is so
vital for our future.
