Garcia ML, et al. - In 279 adults of Mexican heritage with type 2 diabetes, researchers studied psychosocial (depression, anxiety, stress) and social/economic factors (insurance type, health literacy, social support) were linked to low adherence to medication (measured via the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale -8, a self-report survey, and Proportion of Days Covered) and sex differences. For cross-sectional analyses, self-report and health record data were used. According to results, more males reported low adherence to hypoglycemic medicines vs females. Significant differences were found between levels of depressive symptomatology, anxiety, stress, social support, and medication adherence. A lack of adherence to their hypoglycemic regimen was seen in approximately 50% of Mexican heritage adults; gender differences were seen as well. Among Mexican heritage males, interventions should address gender differences in social support preferences to improve drug behavior taking.
