Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Evaluation of a programme to monitor drug therapy in type-2 diabetics].
To evaluate the results of pharmaceutical intervention in a programme to monitor the drug therapy of type-2 diabetics; and to assess the improvement of the indicators, glycosylated haemoglobin, basal glycaemia, lipid profile, albumin/creatinine, blood pressure, BMI, medication-related problems and adherence. ⋯ The study will enable the role of the chemist in achieving the objectives of controlling type-2 diabetes patients to be achieved through educational intervention and assistance in drug therapy monitoring.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Classification of medication interactions in family medicine and effectiveness of an intervention to improve them].
a) To build a detection and evaluation tool of drug interactions (DI) in family practice prescribing; b) to elaborate and to offer a DI report, including appearance mechanism, clinical consequences and appropriate alternatives; c) to evaluate their effectiveness to diminish the DI incidence, and d) to check effectiveness of different diffusion methods. ⋯ Limitations. Using a new DI classification make difficult external comparisons, although it is useful because we use generalised and prestigious data sources. Applicability. The project produces a tool to avoid prescription errors. Checking the effectiveness in different corrective measures allows to take reasoned decisions for future interventions in quality care.

[Efficacy of an intervention to improve treatment compliance in hyperlipidemias].
To analyse the efficacy of the intervention through a telephone call about patients' compliance with lipaemia therapy. ⋯ The telephone intervention is an efficacious way of improving the percentage of patients complying with lipaemia treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Effectiveness of two health interventions to get pregnant women to give up smoking].
To evaluate the effectiveness of the group intervention for getting pregnant women to give up tobacco consumption, measured by means of carbon monoxide levels in air breathed out, compared with a minimum intervention. ⋯ All the pregnant women attending for consultation with the midwives of the four PC teams involved during the study period, who are smoking at least one cigarette a day when they find out they are pregnant and who want to take part in the study once they have been informed of it. Intervention. The subjects included will be randomised into 2 intervention groups. The minimum intervention will consist of brief personal counselling (3 to 5 minutes) on why they should give up smoking, especially now they are pregnant. The group intervention will involve 3 sessions lasting approximately an hour and a half.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Written information on the use of aerosols in COPD patients. Can we improve their use?].
To determine whether the use of written information alone improved inhalation technique with pressurized canister inhalers in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To compare the effectiveness of written information versus verbal explanation provided by nursing personnel on the use of inhalers. ⋯ The use of written information about the use of inhalers for patients with COPD significantly improved utilization to a degree similar to that obtained with verbal explanations.
