Predictors of cost-related medication nonadherence in Canada: a repeated cross-sectional analysis of the Canadian Community Health Survey
Our nationally representative findings reveal inequities that disproportionally affect marginalized people at the intersections of sex, race, age, and disability, and vary by province. This foundational understanding of the state of cost-related nonadherence may be used to inform potential expansion of public drug coverage eligibility, premiums, and cost-sharing policies that address financial barriers to medication adherence.
