Patient experience and unmet needs in high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer: Insights from qualitative interviews and a cross-sectional survey.

Objectives: To evaluate patient experience, unmet needs, and burden among patients with high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) treated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included HR-NMIBC patients who received BCG treatment in the past 3 years. The study, preceded by a focused literature review, was conducted in 2 phases: 1) qualitative interviews with 32 patients in the United States (US), France, Germany, and United Kingdom (UK) and 2) quantitative survey of 150 patients in the US.

Development of a Measure to Assess Attitudes Towards Nasal versus Autoinjector Glucagon Delivery Devices for Treatment of Severe Hypoglycemia.

Background: For individuals managing diabetes, the administration of glucagon for severe hypoglycemia can be lifesaving, yet, until recently, there were no easy-to-use devices for these stressful emergencies. New products have emerged to meet this need, including nasal glucagon (NG) and auto-injector glucagon (AI). This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a new measure, the Glucagon Device Attitudes Questionnaire (GDAQ), in assessing attitudes toward NG and AI from the perspectives of persons with diabetes on insulin (PWDs), caregivers, and acquaintances.

Epilepsy Treatment Complacency in Patients, Caregivers, and Health Care Professionals.

Objective: To explore the perspectives of adult patients with epilepsy, caregivers, and health care professionals (HCPs) on treatment for seizures and treatment decisions, we developed and administered the STEP Survey (Seize the Truth of Epilepsy Perceptions).

Methods: Participants were recruited from online panel M3 and by Rare Patient Voice and completed the self-administered online STEP Survey. Analysis of variance and chi-square tests were used for group comparisons.

The Association of Oral Stimulant Medication Adherence with Work Productivity among Adults with ADHD.

Objective: Examine associations between oral psychostimulant pharmacotherapy adherence, work productivity, and related indirect costs among US adults with ADHD.

Methods: Medication adherence (Medication Adherence Reasons Scale [MAR-Scale]), work productivity and activity impairment (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-General Health questionnaire), and ADHD symptom level (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale version 1.1 Symptom Checklist) were assessed in this noninterventional online survey of adults who self-reported having an ADHD diagnosis and were currently receiving oral psychostimulant treatment for ≥3 months.

Patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional perspectives on seizure control and treatment goals.

Objective: To examine perspectives of adult patients with epilepsy, caregivers, and healthcare professionals (HCPs) on seizure freedom, seizure control, communication, and treatment goals.

Methods: Participants were recruited from online M3 panel and by Rare Patient Voice, and completed the self-administered online STEP Survey (Seize the Truth of Epilepsy Perceptions). Group comparisons used analysis of variance and chi-square tests.
