Multilevel Factors Predicting Cardiac Rehabilitation Attendance and Adherence in Underserved Patients at a Safety-Net Hospital.

Purpose: This study examined multilevel factors as predictors of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) attendance and adherence among underserved patients at a safety-net hospital (SNH).

Methods: Participants were recruited during hospitalization for a cardiac procedure or event. Participants responded to a questionnaire, and outcome data (including CR attendance and adherence) were extracted from medical records at baseline and 6 mo post-discharge.
